Americans actually don't eat too much salt. I advise you to revisit the "salt is bad for you" propaganda and realize that food is salt deficient in order to make you crave more of it.
Yes, refined salt is devoid of micronutrients, bleached (the fake iodine they use turns it purple) and can be argued to be bad, but sodium itself, and sodium chloride in general, is a vital nutrient, and deficiency is far more deadly and likely to occur than "overdose."
