> I would rather live in a country where an individual can save and invest to become a billionaire.
Steinbeck has a dynamite line about this. It's a goofy point at any rate because there is no evidence that you can realistically _save_ to become a billionaire. It's typically inherited.
> Where is the growth and innovation in those countries?
Literally everywhere? A fun exercise is to read about some burgeoning Canadian or European tech companies and contrast them with eg Uber or WeWork.
> I want to live in a country with opportunity, not one of equality
Without public schools and healthcare, most people get no opportunity.
