I don't know where you learned statistics but this is like comically bad.
I suggest you pick an even smaller country like Andorra ~82K people and compare that with the top 82K people in the US.
Seriously, it's well known the US is skewed towards the top and it's actually a problem... We all remember how Warren Buffet had to say it was weird how he played a lower marginal tax rate than his secretary, right?
