You need to take another look at how the EU makes laws, and who gets to propose them, and who they talk to.
It's less blatant, but just as pernicious.

The USA got rich because of unbridled capitalism. Then richness trickled down through generations of companies while regulations caught up and their government became a behemoth not dissimilar to the ones living in EU and that the USA was running from.
Nowadays the USA jurisdiction is comparable to the EU one, but they still have more $$$.

Did that richness really trickle down? Just look at the distribution of that money.

Of course. I agree with what I think you're getting at, specifically that not nearly enough richness trickled down. However, the poorest Americans today are still significantly better off than they were in most any previous decade or century because a bit of that wealth did trickle down.

In what time period did this "unbridled capitalism" happen?
It was not even believed by Adam Smith. He writes that it only works that way in a controlled environment. That’s why European countries usually rank higher in market freedom than the US, because we don’t have companies getting so cancerously big that they have very real effects on law making (how lobbying is legal is still beyond me)
