Agree completely. I think these numbers look more realistic as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)...

Sorry for the "downvotes are the disagree button" that you are experiencing for raising good and interesting discussion points, and frankly calling out misleading numbers that were posted. I didn't know that the average German was worse off and poorer than the average person from Greece (I guess finally the wealth transfer from Germany to Greece is being reflected in the numbers! - kidding, kind of).

That reinforces the whole point i'm making. The USA is wealthier per person. The USA is poorer on median wealth. This occurs because the wealth is concentrated in a small number of extremely wealthy people whilst the typical person is poorer. This can be easily fixed to the benefit of the majority with higher taxes on the ultra rich.

The point you’re making seems to change every time someone provides data that shows it’s not accurate.

First it was Australia was 3x wealthier than the US. Now it’s that the US is poorer on a median level, yet I see no data.

Poorer than Australia? Sure whatever. I’m just glad we are way ahead of countries like Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Maybe they should adopt our style of government to improve.
