The US was also created by its geography. Lots of space, lots of natural resources, etc... Even the best people can't make gold out of nothing, so to speak.
Everyone can be the US sounds a lot like the Mitt Romney "I couldn't pay for college, so I sold some of my stocks to pay for it" [0].
It's quite out of touch to be born in the richest country and then be surprised why other countries can't make it. It "takes money to make money". Thats not the only criteria, but it helps quite a lot.

- WalterBright 4y agoLook at the difference in outcomes between North and South America. Venezuela is resource rich. The country is mired in poverty. Russia, too. Japan is very resource poor - but they're a rich country. > Even the best people can't make gold out of nothing Yeah, they can. That's what the tech sector does.
