If that is the reason it makes me wonder how bad it really is in the US versus how bad it's claimed to be in the US. Maybe some of it is just cause it is so prominent in the media. The thing that often bugs me is that there's all this talk about income inequality in the US but there isn't that much of an income inequality problem in the US. The US is actually pretty average in terms of income equality.
Of course it might just be that the important part is how big the problems seem. Since the US is doing well, any problems seem like a big deal. Whereas looking at it from a country which really has income inequality you're left wishing you had income inequality like the US has.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
