    In other words: the US is working overtime and spending it’s surplus money on drinks.

    The unfortunate fact is that we have a lot higher percentage of poor people. If you were to redo the ranking with only the top 80% of Americans we’d be first.

        Well, I didn’t say I wanted it and I didn’t say it was good. I just provided another statistic about how stratified and pay to play our economy is.

        It’s actually fucked. It’s not good. I don’t like it.
