The United States is a socioeconomic apartheid that throws away anyone poor, minority, old, or not a celebrity. They're expected to miracle-up a pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, which is a children's parable about an impossible task, not any sort of hyperindividualistic possible feat of self-sufficiency. The US is great if you're rich, but it throws everyone else under the bus.
