"The study, "The EU vs. USA," was done by a pair of economists--Fredrik Bergstrom and Robert Gidehag--for the Swedish think tank Timbro.

Most European countries would rank below the U.S. average, as the chart below shows. "

Sorry - I didnt have time to google GDP. America is fairly rich in terms of economics, however not everyone reaps from this wealth which was what I was getting at. Google this - how many people live below the poverty line. That my friend, is what I was talking about..
