The numbers don’t really back that up do they? [Nationality]-Americans have better outcomes than their [Nationality] brethren back home for every given group, the American economy outperforms all other economies, and America is pretty much always leading the trends in what turns out to be the revealed preference of nearly everyone once they hit a certain income level (large homes, cars, A/C, social spending, etc).
I mean I’m sure other societies do some things more in line with what you like but that’s not really a great definition of “better.” Most things America does ‘poorly’ America simply prefers this way, such as poor crime enforcement for instance. Most Americans wouldn’t really go for a Japan-style maximum enforcement if given the choice.
