Many of us have seen it this way for a long time. I think awareness is growing now everywhere, but the USA is at a disadvantage because its people have to overcome many decades of being told that rich people are the most successful and valuable in every sense. The equation of wealth and success has been a core piece of America's self-propaganda.
