Nice thoughtful theory. One of your premises is wrong, though - the US hasn't shown particularly unusual economic growth the past few decades, and is lower than many of the countries on that list. I don't think that kills your argument, but it'd need amendment somehow.
A variation that might help explain: the passage of the Clean Air Act in the US arguably did hurt a lot of people very badly, economically. And maybe that's behind some of the aversion, along the lines you sketch.
I'm tempted to assume my misconception is more widespread and therefore I'm still right :) ... But perhaps, as you suggest, it is specific harms from specific policies that led to general skepticism of tampering with free-market economics.
I can see how that could become conflated with the idea that there’s something exceptional about the US economy that needs to be protected more generally. Though, e.g., it feels like a stretch to dismiss cap-and-trade solely on the basis of that. So I dunno.
