Everyone in those other countries emulate America, not the other way around. They can tell us how great they have it, but some of us have seen how they have it and know better.
Example:

Compare the standard of living of our middle class to their middle class. Big difference. We live like their upper class. Their middle class lives like our lower class. Our poverty level has a better standard of living than their poverty level. Our poverty level lives very close to the same living standard as their middle class. I've seen it.
