Why is it easy to make money in the USA?

In my opinion, America’s wealth engine runs on three things: cheap debt, a cult of entrepreneurship, and a regulatory sandbox for tech bros. Want a loan to start a taco truck? Here’s $50K at 6% APR. Want to exploit gig workers while scaling a "disruptive" app? The SEC will high-five you. From my experience in tech, the U.S. is like a casino where the house always wins—unless you’re the house.
The U.S. makes it "easy" to make money because it’s a capitalist gladiator arena with unlimited credit, deregulated hustle culture, and a fetish for rewarding narcissists—but only if you’re born on third base or willing to sell your soul to Silicon Valley.
Here’s the kicker: The U.S. rewards scale, not smarts. Dropout Zuckerberg gets billions for stealing a "hot or not" idea, while a genius fixing HVAC systems in Ohio barely cracks $60K. I must admit, the real money isn’t in working—it’s in owning. Buy a rental property in a tax-break haven like Texas, leverage Airbnb’s algorithm, and watch renters fund your Porsche.
Which country has the best and strictest legal system in the world?
Real-life example? A 19-year-old in Miami dropshipping neon pool floats from Alibaba to TikTok teens. Zero overhead, pure markup, and Uncle Sam only takes 15% if you call it a "small business." To be honest, America’s "ease" of making money is just a pyramid scheme where the top 1% profit from the 99%’s FOMO.
Take the gig economy: Uber and DoorDash turned "side hustles" into a dystopian grind where you can "earn" $15/hour before gas and taxes. A friend in Austin quit his teaching job to drive for Lyft, only to realize he made more money selling course about driving for Lyft on TikTok. I find it hilarious how the American Dream now means monetizing your burnout.
But I should warn you: For every Musk, there are 10,000 bankrupt food trucks. The "easy" money? It’s a rigged game—unless you’re born rich, connected, or willing to meme-stock your life savings into crypto.
Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?
Funny how "land of opportunity" really means "land of opportunists." When’s the last time a Walmart cashier retired early?
