"I'm not exactly sure what you mean by America not being "meritocratic." If anything, this is the most meritocratic country in the world. For more than a century, it's been rewarding people for their abilities. Capitalism's history in North America is the greatest example of this." I think capitalism has made America what it is today, but America today is as such not the best PR for capitalism. It is not the most meritocratic country in the world either. If you are born in a certain quintile you are staying there. Also, Bush's appalling fiscal policy has caused a lot of economic volatility, which is not a good thing.
