I'm just pointing out a fact, not trying to get into a pissing match.
Government is just one entity in a capitalist society. Most of the government debt (80%+) is held by Americans.
So no, the US government is obviously not the "richest" but the country as a whole is. That doesn't mean it's distributed well.. it just is what it is.
In a perfect world a government should break even.
