Raw cash figures really don’t mean much. When you consider cost of living, wealth distribution, money controlled by trillion dollar corporations (mostly in the US), infrastructure, health care, etc, dollars become an unequal scale. The bottom 20% of British society probably does much better than the bottom 20% of Americans. The difference is likely more stark with the bottom 10%. The UK might have a average lower household income than West Virginia, but virtually nobody could really say West Virginia is better off than the UK.
