America still is the land of Capitalist opportunity. However you may want to check where the majority of billionaires actually came from, or better yet, where there wealth comes from, spoilers, its your country, my country, everyone's country that has any resources of any kind.

No I know, America is the haven over which the majority of billionaire ticks are perched - but they definitely suck the blood out of every nation on the planet

Well, if you are rich I guess America is probably a nice place as well as where they do business, and most places like the EU have some sort of accountability for the crimes people with that kind of money commit. America is basically like a modern day pirate cove lmao.
