Almost everyone now can afford wine and some decadance, from a Roman standard. Roman decadence was grapes and wine and meats and sex. Far more people now have access to far better things than the Romans ever experienced.

wine, meats and sex? What could possibly be better than that?

I'm not saying it could :) I'm just commenting on the "powerful Americans" line, above.

I.e. what they called decadent we call normal, in no small part due to Americans who grew powerful (or rather, rich) by delivering increased value to ordinary people.
