Several have mentioned that there seem to be more focus on the 'norm' in Europe where USA focus more one the outlier. It may be, but there's another thing.... I would say it has as much to do with a sense of equality. I percieve USA as a society where a much greater inequality is accepted as normal than in Europe.
Not everyone has equal possibilities, and one reason I can accept high taxes is that I think it's a good idea to, to some extent, spread the wealth and even out some of the inherent inequality (I earn a 'nice' pay btw. - mainly due to a good, and free, education)
