Is it? The USA has one of the least egalitarian societies in the developed world.
Assuming you're talking about equality of opportunity: given the ridiculous cost of higher education and healthcare in the USA (as opposed to most developed countries, where it's nearly free to attend even the best universities or get treated in hospital), do you really believe there's a high level of consideration given to equality in American society?
