> Because we’re the richest country in the world

Are you? When I just Googled "richest country in the world", not a single result placed the US in #1.

Yeah, I don' think that statement holds up to scrutiny at all.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the median salary in the US was higher than the median salary in Luxembourg/Ireland/Singapore/Brunei/oil-rich-middle-east. Along with a lower tax burden resulting in higher net pay.
