Why US Americans so poor?
When I visited western USA, I was very surprised by all the one story cardboard homes... Pretty sad.
If you dont' know what "median" means, look it up. It's the average wealth without assuming wealth is equally devided between billionaires and poors.
>Why US Americans so poor?
speak English?
tbf they haven't had a pay rise since the 1980s
They're such cucks, funny how they constantly LARP as millionaires.
>Spain has a higher median net worth than USA
Mutts BTFO
The median for Sweden and Germany are also pretty sad, especially Sweden who always praises itself for its amazing equality.
Do Europeans do anything besides constantly think about America?
you're ignoring cost of living. it's much cheaper to live in the midwest USA than anywhere in switzerland. even the poorest americans enjoy a better quality of life than 99% of the rest of the world
>Western USA
No wonder.
We have a relatively low rate of home ownership. While this is definitely an issue, it distorts such charts a little, especially during housing market bubbles
No they don't
if you live out of doritos and mountain dew.
You cannot aford a salad.
>even the poorest americans enjoy a better quality of life than 99% of the rest of the world
And you can't survive without Baguette and frog legs. Hon hon
Come on, I've read that 40% of Germans have a net worth below 10,000 euros. Even the supposedly poor countries of Southern Europe think that is dismal.
>even the poorest americans enjoy a better quality of life than 99% of the rest of the world
>a game of charts
(butthurt americunt constantly saying "europoors this", "europoors that")
CHART IN MART
Gallup does polls, not research.
Income doesn't need to be super high in US because of low taxes in general and everything is super cheap. There are exceptions to this of course such as big cities like New York, San Francisco, and Seattle, but the rest of the country enjoys relatively low costs of living.
>Gallup
>2006-2012
That's so stupid it doesn't deserve an answer. That's what your gov wants you to believe.
>my chart is better than yours
>i don't like you chart so i will keep shopping until i find the one i like better
the absolute state of Sup Forums.
Well he isn't wrong. Half of int is american bait threads
O B S E S S E D
Seriously, noone quotes Gallup when comparing the wealth of nations.
I think we just have a higher "through-put", hoarding less capital on personal basis
Some things like groceries are super cheap here too by 1st world standards (but then again electricity/gas are extremely expensive)
>OP is about wealth
>posts about income
United States is 6th in the world by Median Income
en.wikipedia.org
This is what I don't get. They act macho as fuck but then they bend over and lube themselves for the rich amongst them. Why are they so submissive?
where is Norway?
90% of charts posted on Sup Forums are memes that don't even have source
>income has nothing to do with wealth
>cost of living
>somehow forgets about health care and education
It’s a mystery.
It's not hard to get rich in thr US and there is probably a fee richies on this site. I know /biz/ has a few american millionaires. We don't all act like what you're describing though, that's a stereotype
Well I guess those who elected Trump started to get redpilled...
Also in the Dem Primaries, Sanders would have won if it hadn't been rigged.
Does that table include real estate debt? Because I'm pretty sure Aussies wouldn't be as high if that were the case, and a few other countries as well.
quality of life is defined by what you consume, and if you safe it you can't consume it, and Wealth isn't wage.
You realize that the median income is before Tax.
Wealth is more indicative of how rich you are, though. It is your "extra spending power".
obesed
>Pay for education
Education is free if good grades
>Pay for healthcare
Almost all middle class employers provide free healthcare as a benefit
The people you see complaining about these issues are lazy poor people who didn't work hard in school
Sanders would have never won, he's a socialist
>barely worked a day in my life and i'm already over the ameripoor median
feels good
>US Americans
This is exactly what they want you to believe. Fortunately, there are a few people who studied a bit of ecnomy and can read between the lines.
GDP and wage don't mean much.
For example, maps will usually compare wage in France and in the USA (pic related, ) but it means nothing when the french
- don't use their wage for their children's education
- don't use their wage for saving for retirement
- don't use their wage for health
Now if you would rather only consider the wage, ok.
you pay 10% on income from $0 if i'm reading your tax bands right.
we pay 0% on income up to £11,501
>dodger
>Monsanto
Ours soon
>Walmart
We actually boycotted them out of existence here (accumulated a $3 billion loss while operating here), meanwhil Aldi and Lidl start expanding in Murrica
Rest sure to follow
>it’s free if good grades
No it isn’t, you could possibly get a scholarship, a limited number of which are handed out a year, and which give a pre-specified amount of money instead of the full cost, so often even with a scholarship you still have to pay. It’s not as if you automatically eat free education if your grades are good enough.
>The people you see complaining about these issues are lazy poor people who didn't work hard in school
If you'd rather be a poor capitalist fanboi than a rich socialist, ok.
European countries have a long history, it's a long struggle that takes effort, not just selfishness.
Yes he would of, he would be running against the most unpopular candidate in American history, meanwhile he’s literally the most popular politician in the country right now. Hillary is dogshit and even she won the popular vote.
...
>yuropoors
>have free health care and free education while having the same if not evenbetter living standards
americans are deluded
but france has the same pattern as the us except you have more poor immigrants and some of your whole cities are literal shitholes like marseille for example or parisian suburbs. what do you care about them if you are middle class.
good lad
Yes it's 10% up to $9,500. But then $9,500 to 38,000 is only 12% and then 38,000 to 87,000 is only 22%.
not all euro cunts have free health care or education
and it doesn't mean shit as long as they can afford that.
t. britpoor
also free retirement pensions
not making fun of france's unemployment rate, what matters is the global trend from good to bad. the 2% difference between france and britain is nothing compared to the 6% difference between britain then and britain now.
Maybe scholarships to universities and prestigious schools. Community colleges near me accept anybody who graduated with a 3.8 gpa or higher for free. There are literally thousands of different scholarships anyways and there isn't a scarce few of them. I was a dumbshit in highschool and I still got a few grants just because I signed up for them and nobody else bothered to claim them.
this is bullshit. I live in a third worldmcountry and I enjoy a better quality of life than poor americans
This. I don’t like capitalism in general, but if you are going to do it then Keynesianism/social democracy is the only non-retarded way to do it.
>Community colleges near me accept anybody who graduated with a 3.8 gpa or higher for free.
Yeah but aren’t those publicly funded?
I still don't really see your point and how it relates to the thread.
It's an old England PM on the left?
You mean it was better before? When the policies were keynesian?
The democratic primaries would never noninate a socialist. Our version of the left is still too far right to ever elect a socialist as a presidential nominee
what's the percentage of home ownership in top euro cunts? i know germany is quite low so that may affect their wealth figures.
>old England PM
Roosevelt?
>the democratic primaries would never elect a socialist
Well if they would have, he would have won.
Your leftists aren't too far right, BERNIE IS THEIR FAVORITE POLITICIAN. It's your "leftist" party that is morally bankrupt.
this was mentioned above
How come they're so deluded?
By the state and not the federal government yes. They get that money from sale tax here
>would of
yeah, it's Harold Wilson on the left. he was in charge 1964-70 and 1974-6.
>You mean it was better before? When the policies were keynesian?
yeah, but also saying Piketty is good since he's supported some Keynesian policies, and that we should do a modern version.
posted it because Piketty came up, but it's also relevant because Europeans were more effective Keynesians than Americans historically.
Lol they are actually the cucks to their rich
oh no, those poor germans :(
That’s true, and the last election is proof of this I think.
We're fucked
But surprised Murrica is that low considering your non-existent population density, California bay area dragging things down?
ok.
I actually don't know how they calculate these figures in OP, like if they substract the US government debt from the private wealth or not.
I mention this because the USA are pretty largely indebted for a country that doesn't (wouldn't) do keynesianism...
OP, we should help out the poor germans, they are starving :((((
The United States ranks 41st out of 49 measured countries in home ownership. The only Euro countries behind you are UK, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, and Austria. The USA also has much higher rates of foreclosure and repossession than other industrialised countries.
You haven't heard of the working poors there?
It's pretty violent.
The German Left (Schröder) chose to abandon their poor, and The Economist hailed it as "modern" and "the right direction".
delet this
Your Lebensraum is too small, probably increases real estate prices.
Half the US population lives in big cities where housing is super expensive
>non-existent population density
81% of Americans live in cities. They don't spread out over the entire landmass.
America is rich what are you talking about
...
yeah we are losing to all of these cunts that top the list, kek. looking at the winners, apparently that doesn't mean shit.
I-it's not like we didn't try...
Yeah, I don't have the source for it at hand, but I remember reading that the lowest-earning quarter of the employed is making 20% less than in 1990, inflation-adjusted. Our excessive focus on exports while neglecting the internal market/demand will sue bite us in the ass one day, and it already partially has (Southern Euro denbt crisis, Brexit...)
Don't you have massive suburban sprawl though?
>ameripoors
>you
We are talking about Americans here, and most suburbs are considered part of the city.
Yes. Read the Credit Suisse study, it's online and free.
credit-suisse.com
Speak Ameican?
Oh wait, no such thing.
Why do we have to talk about america all of the time?
>cities
not cities but "urban" which includes metro areas (suburbs)
Good observation croat, we don't speak american
Nice humility, bruv.
this board is about america. haven't you noticed that. you can create your own thread about any other cunt and enjoy your 2 yous until it dies.
