Well I wish you put more effort in your reasoning than "I think it does". Egalitarian cultures can really usually only be found in small short-term sustenance societies. The fact that there is a concept of property and strategies of long-term sustenance (people grow food in farms, not look for it in the rainforest) means that there is inherently people who own more or less than the other people, which means that the society is stratified. All developed nations are stratified.

You could maybe say that American values are more egalitarian than that of other developed nations, but you'd be comparing apples to oranges if you just say that America is egalitarian.

Not exactly directly related to your question, but it would help you understand what it means to be egalitarian, there's an ethnographic book that examines two African peoples, one is a hunter-gatherer egalitarian people, the other agrarian and stratified.
