Couldn't agree more.
But you must understand that the stated ideals of this country are a fiction. The entire history of our independence can most accurately be summed up as follows:
1. Wealthy aristocrats (read The Founding Fathers(tm) )were given huge tracts of land to come to the Colonies and set up shop collecting taxes.
2. In further compensation for collecting taxes for the Crown, these aristocrats got to keep a part of the taxes collected.
3. After a while, these aristocrats realized that if they could get the ill-educated masses to believe that the burden of taxes was all the Crown's fault, they could break away from the Crown and keep all taxes themselves. This would make them even more obscenely wealthy than they already were.
4. The succeed in their propaganda and the Revolutionary War is fought.
5. At the end of the RW, taxes go UP!
6. Seeing they have no more "representation" than they did under the King, a group headed by a Revolutionary War hero (Daniel Shay) attempts to exercise their new "Constitutinal Right" to protest and heads to the capital.
7. They are slaughtered. The rest now "get it".
It took Andrew Jackson to introduce the notion of democracy. Democracy was not on the minds of the vaulted "Founding Fathers". Plutocracy was their game. And plutocracy is what we have had since.
So, yes, the ideals betrayed by the US are far worse, if and only if you are the sort who believes in equality.
