Trust is a product of achieving shared goals.  

Over the last 30 years, the US has become a country divided into haves and have-nots.  Today, the proportion of wealth and income controlled by the haves is at historically high levels.  In this situation, the have-nots are right to question whether development will improve their lot, or whether it will simply continue to line the pockets of the haves.

Unless we're able to constrain the greed that fuels the current large disparities in wealth and incomes, it is unlikely the haves and have-nots in the US will share trust producing goals.
