It's better to be rich in the US because you can cut ahead of the line in virtually every segment if you have the money.

Why would you think this exclusive to the US? This is true everywhere (arguably it’s true tautologically, it’s practically what “being rich” means).
As an example: Healthcare. In a public, single-payer model, no amount of money can jump the queue.
Private healthcare exists alongside the public system in many places.
Go abroad for treatment, problem solved.
Sure, to a country like the US right? Then why not stay there?
