Just because you saw fireworks over the Kremlin on mushrooms doesn't make you and giggles Louis & Clark.
As I'm not interested in helping you sort out your ignorances, I will just say the following. For the most part (and incidentally having nothing to do with anything as far as globalization goes...you mentioned this irrelevance for whatever reason) you are correct in that the US has strengths and provides more vertical economic movement for it's people...domestically but selectively (chance and race and current economic status and other things that have weight in one's relative chances of "creating wealth").
Outside of the US though, we fuck people overseas directly, and - to tie it together in a real way and not just for the purposes of flag waving and boasting per your self-serving sidetracking tactic before - domestically we are indeed hit as well. The choice is pay a spic village pennies to put the car together or pay a unionized American labor force. Where does the $ diff go and how does this help anyone out other than the profitting?
So yeah, the rich have to worry about keeping their nest eggs in tact. Well, they better worry about that and they do...and not just about half their fortunes...as the worse-off the "rest" get, the rich need to watch their own hides' halves as well.
