Filth... my read is that the US favours freedom over equality.
Wealth redistribution occurs in the US more along the lines of charity than through taxation, at least in the minds of most.
Countries like Canada have a more pronounced social "safety net", universal health care, etc. which strive to bring about an equality of social services.
One can discuss the merits of this pro or con, but ultimately my point here is that it is closer (economically speaking) to the "equality" end of the spectrum than the US is currently.
