That isn't a coherent argument; the latter does not support the former. The median American has a lot of money and disposable income compared to almost any other country.
this isn't accurate.
america has a wealth per adult of 551,350 germany has a wealth per adult of 256,180
if you exclude the top 10 highest wealth holders in each country its 543,385 vs 252,811.
america's a rich country compared most other countries its also got huge wealth in equality because its top .001% is something that doesn't exist anywhere else
The US is broadly wealthier. Folks like to bash the US, but it is wealthier.
there's over 20 million millionaires in the USA, that's like, what, 1 in 20?
That's just objectively untrue.
