If you take away the desire that Americans' have for liberty and personal responsibility, you may also eliminate their desire for the free markets, capitalism, and other personal liberties that got them where they are. You're assuming that these things can be achieved a la carte.

what got America where it is is the same thing that blessed Canada and Australia, we were all lucky enough to steal a vast land full of abundant natural resources that were relatively easy to dig up and sell, being American had nothing to do with it, frankly Germans and Dutch work harder and are a sight more productive
