I know it's not an everyone and everywhere thing. Just a general statement about the overall society and its culture. With the US's GDP the citizens could have a much higher quality of life than really anywhere else but they generally choose to have a very low quality of life dedicated to work. I've known people who haven't taken a holiday in years or would complain that if they ever took more than two weeks they would be hurting their career. It's depressing to watch the people who have the most cosplay living in a much poorer nation. Also yes I'm aware that the wealth is primarily in the hands of the unelected american royalty but I thought the second amendment was there to prevent that circumstance. Governments are meant to protect and serve their citizens and citizens must ensure the government is doing so.
