That's a very subjective opinion and pointing out a completely different issue.
I remember going to another country to get pasta and rice by the bag - so that we had something to eat... just 25 years ago. That has little to do with poor growth distribution in US.
Having lived in a post-communist country and gaining wealth, I can see now in US that it's drastically harder to be better off here. It's a case of "everyone starts as poor" comparing to "poor have a lot of obstacles in holding onto wealth". You need at least $1mil in generational benefits to be well off in US.(either cash, quality education or other means)
The worst part for US - even moving to a rich place like NYC will not give you the necessary boost anymore(median NYC income is below national median)
