In general that happen whens there is too much luxury. The person doesn't know the value of things, what others get after a lot of work and difficulty.
If you know how difficult it is to buy even things like food, clothing and shelter. How hard you have to work to get them, you will have a lot humility in using them. There are a lot of people in the world who would do anything just for 3 proper meals a day, a livable home, clothes to wear and some basic health care.
In my country India(People still live in subhuman conditions) and some would do anything to even have one proper meal a day. They don't have the luxury to be spoilt.
US to me looks like a land of extreme consumerism. People seem to buy all sorts of stuff, even if they have absolutely no need for it. Eating at fast food restaurants, going on vacations, changing cars every now and then, loans, debt and other spending even if you never need it at all. Also US attitude toward the rest of world is frightening to say at the least. I mean I get the patriotism, but most US politicians talk like as though any other place outside is shit. The infrastructure looks like tall buildings, clean roads and all that all designed richest people on earth.
You also have this history, bombing every other nation that says 'no' to you. Invading so many countries and mercilessly pounding them with impunity. Granting aids to other nations like you offer alms. Or having economic sanctions.
All this gives a feeling that US is some form of invincible entity whose dominance on the world scene will last till eternity. And you can do whatever you like and you have free pass.
I think all this counts and gives you a sense of extreme confidence and arrogance that you will get what you demand. And such a run will never end.
