I live (now) in a country with a GDP per capita an order of magnitude less than the US. Having just come come back from the US. I can say without doubt. There is much less poverty here. The average citizens quality of life here is an order of magnitude better than the us. Funnily enough. Money isn't everything. Stuff like personal freedoms. Social interaction. Inequity are much more important IMHO.
