What is the tone of the following passage?

In the United States, one of four children is born into poverty. The United States is the world's wealthiest nation, but much of that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. The combined wealth of the top 1 percent of American families is nearly equal to that of the entire bottom 95 percent. Such obscene inequality is totally inappropriate for a democratic country.
