'America is still the best country in the world to start a business and take risks'. Do you have any data to back this up? I'm purely curious. Note you didn't state, 'and make an insanely large sum of money there', so I wouldn't be surprised if there were many more countries where it would be a good choice.

'America has more freedoms than most of the world'. What is in parenthesis is a sweeping generalization and what are you defining as 'most of the world'.

I'm not even sure what you're getting at with the NATO statement in relation to social mobility.

Frankly I'm not sure what is perverse about this article. Isn't it called the American Dream for a reason?
