Not so in many (but by no means all) European countries, especial the Nordic ones.Something about long dark winters makes them figure out how to build equitable societies. Just look at Norway's sovereign fund.. A shining example of what happens when a government decides not to give away all the country's wealth to a few rich oil companies. Maybe it's all the fish they eat? Or having recovered from a long history of raping and pillaging? Maybe it's their ability to embrace religion with letting it run their lives and country?
For sure they are not perfect but at least the people are involved, income distributes are so much better than the US, and they are constantly evolving and using result driven policies. What a concept, actually measure the benefits of legislation and if it doesn't work throw it out. Unfortunately America and most of the world actually are pretty damned weak on evidence and facts.
However never underestimate the ability of greed and corruption to fuck up any system. To eliminate that you need transparency. Yet another thing America and so many countries are notoriously weak on. Yeah we have freedom of information requests but if you don't know something is there you can't ask for it, and there's always some big fat oligarchs stooge to say "no, can't release that, it's secret" if it suits his masters.
