This will probably blow your mind because the perception of how rich our country is may be measured by different standards. The world has a standard, our government has a standard, and our countrymen have a standard. Check the below link and share your opinion?

The U.S. Is Big and Rich. China Is Just Big

In per-capita income, the U.S. ranks No. 12, while China, which is far more populous, ranks only No. 101

A very interesting read Sir. It's all in the perspective. I do strongly agree with the last part; we are big and rich, but we are also big and in big debt. Thanks for sharing.

We have the highest GDP, but we've been surpassed by other countries for some time now in quality of life and income for the middle class. Fact is, top .1% of income earners in the US control a hugely disproportionate amount of the annual GDP.
