[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US is a great place to be rich, and a terrible place to be poor.
Europe is a great place to be poor, and a terrible place to be rich.

The poorest US state (Mississippi) is about to surpass the richest EU country (Germany) in GDP per capita. All other US states are ahead of every European country. Just Mississippi needs to catch up!

Then why is wealth inequality and standard of living for most Americans so low while Denmark, Sweden etc have barely any poverty or wealthy inequality[/quote]

PP explained it.

Because the US sucks up the production of workers and gives it to the wealthy.

In Europe, GDP benefits everyone. In USA, GDP primarily benefits billionaires.

"A great place to be rich" is not a great place. [/quote]

Maybe?  Do you know not wealthy European families?  They don’t appear better off to me. I will give them the fact they aren’t fat and are more attractive.

That's the point, isn't it? 
How do you determine "better off"? 
Paying less for corn syrup and soybean oil to make you fat and sick?
Having a larger car that you can sit in for hours every day on the beltway? 
Having a bigger house for "privacy" because your country only builds walls out of paper mache?
