There are many different factors. Sure hard work is among them but it's not one of the most important things.
1) They're not shy about spending money to attract successfull foreigners to the US.
2) They get cheap labor from Mexico.
3) They have good business and marketing skills.
4) They need to work hard in order to be able to survive unlike around here where you get important things for free.
5) Unlike many other countries, until recently they didn't feel threatened by buying cheap products from other countries, outsourcing and so on. If they now feel threatened and change there policy on the economy, it won't be good for the US.
6) A strong dollar brings lots of development and research.
In short when it comes to businesses, they have a whole lotta less restrictions than other western countries and they won't penalise you for making more money. Now that's what's most important. If they change to change course and go with conservatism instead like other countries, it'll be a disaster for the US. Being scared won't get you far.
