I hope you’re right about this, but in my experience many folks in the US harbor a puritanical
sense of justice in which people have what they have because they deserve it (i.e. poor people are poor because they deserve to be, and wealthy people are wealthy because they deserve to be). To be clear, I vehemently disagree with this sentiment but I have encountered it enough to wonder whether it’s the majority opinion.
