Didn't Edison steal most of his successful ideas from other people?
Anyway how are we not celebrating success in this country? Anybody who puts the work into a billion dollar idea is still allowed to reap the rewards of that work on the other side if its successful. Nobody is being left penniless, the government isn't confiscating the vast majority of everybody's wealth or possessions, nobody is being forced to hand over his innovative idea over to Uncle Sam for the greater good. Sure we aren't allowed to keep 100% of our money and barriers exist beyond simple risk and reward, but we certainly aren't punishing people for their success.
I think we'd be hard pressed to find any other country on Earth friendlier to success the US.
