What top tier countries?
The US is the wealthiest country in the world by miles. It's had the highest GDP every single year for over 100 years continuously.
That amount of capital is phenomenal, and part of why Americans enjoy salaries 3-4x higher than even Western Europe in most professional work - Tech, Medicine, Law, truck driving, etc.
And that money allows you to work your way up, and buy your own property, etc. which is almost impossible in much of Europe, Canada, etc.
- BossingAround 4y ago> The US is the wealthiest country in the world by miles. True, but the point is that most of that wealth is highly concentrated. Hence why the US is not the beacon of happiness and progress.
- samatman 4y agoBalderdash. The median net worth in the US is $125,000 for a household. It's €50,000 in the Netherlands.
- ornornor 4y agoYes on economical metrics. But in happiness, life expectancy, education, equality, prisoners count, literacy, and many other things that arguably matter more in life than $$$ then the US is quite lagging compared to other developed economies.
