I agree again, I just think in the US the problems that would need solving run much, much deeper and have to do with something I'd call "anti-collectivist" culture. Individualism tuned up so far, it starts to become destructive: People that would rather hurt themselves than support others. As long as that kind of thinking is widespread in the US nearly none of the nice things will be possible.
