American Exceptionalism.
Those of us living in this nation, at this point in time, live in a state of blessing unknown to most who have ever walked the face of the earth.
How we received such blessing isn't what matters.
What we do with the blessing is what matters.
If people are not allowed to bestow the fruits of their efforts on whomever they choose, they likely will not labor to create abundance.
I suspect that freedom is key to the riddle.
Some people get a head start in life.
So what?
Just because some people have it better doesn't mean others have it worse.
The least blessed among us still have it better than most who have walked the face of the earth.
How exactly does American Exceptionalism work?
Just like Star Trek's Heisenberg Compensators: very well, thank you.
