Americans overwhelmingly believe they are "not yet millionaires"
This manifests as policy that harms most Americans while benefiting the rich.
"When I'm rich I want these privileges."
Americans also overwhelmingly misrepresent themselves as better as they are in regards to a variety of social stances. Animal rights, trans rights, race in general, the environment, homelessness, etc. Americans say they support causes but their actions are the opposite, because "in my circumstance" excuses. There is always an excuse.
My saying this will really piss off a lot of Americans who misrepresent themselves.
