> In any profession, if you want to be very successful, America is your best shot. Perhaps a bit exaggerated, but the big market helps a lot and also has a network affect, attracting other talented people and resources from around the world. > But you can't have both cradle to grave security, and the opportunity for success. People in many countries provide much more security (and investment, such as education) to themselves than the US and also plenty of success, including billionaires, including Canada. The main difference is that the US has a much larger market. Billionaires are of course a tiny portion of the population and not representative of the availability of success. For non-billionaires, many of whom can't afford an education or healthcare, success might be futher away because the Americans don't invest as much in themselves. > Progressive proposals to erase American billionaires in exchange for more security What does that mean, specifically?
