Why is Travel Seen as a Luxury and Not Essential?

I'm from the United States originally and I'm sure most of you reading this have either heard, suspect or know first-hand that that the vacation policies of most American-based companies are trash. I heard something like only 4 percent of Americans have passports. There are a number of reasons for this. But it seems like despite the fact that many people around the world think America is "heaven", people don't understand that many of us in this country don't have upward mobility and cannot travel as freely. Why do you all think travel is so out of reach for so many common people?
