>>And are you telling me that the US system offers equality of economic opportunity to everyone<<

Yes. Compared to any other nation on the planet, at any other time in history, the US offers greater equality of economic opportunity.

Almost anyone can do well here if they are prepared to work. As a first generation immigrant yourself with an apartment, car, etc., etc., how can you doubt this?

Nevertheless, as I said, equality of economic opportunity does not mean equality of economic outcomes. Some will command multi-billion dollar corporations while some will labor in small cubicles over obscure health care statistics. The point is though, that if you were smarter, tougher, harder-working and more prepared to sacrifice everything to achieve your goal, in the US you do have a shot at becoming that CEO.
