Short story: by being the biggest modern nation. Today, US lags behind many other modern nations in per capita income (a more appropriate measure would be median wealth, which we're even further behind in) due to a whole bunch of stuff.
Also Romney doesn't mean anything by what he said. He couldn't say something correct to save his life. He lives in the bubble of modern royalty. He wishes he could go back to a time where the super rich were so isolated from the normies that they didn't even know what a weekend was
