Most Americans are not extremely rich, they make enough to live comfortably but not in the lap of luxury. It's our stability and open class system (ability to climb the social and economic ladders) that draws people here I think. Isn't the most common thing to hear from illegal aliens "I wanted to make a better life for myself and my family"? Not, "I want in on all those piles of cash!".
Birth does a hell of alot to determine who we are, we are born into our culture. Some people are born to very wealthy parents and often enjoy lives of greater privilege then the rest of us. How far are you willing to go to put an end to that? And are you willing to damage and destroy the efforts of millions of people here who have done absolutely nothing wrong in order to enforce your own view of global equality? I'm willing to help people, but I also retain the right to choose how I do it, and what I'm willing to sacrifice in the process. If you want to override the will of the citizenry in order to impose your own morality, I suggest you find a different country to target. That's not the way things work here.
