well, that does not make US people better than anyone else in the world ... and if you look at it in a historical context, it may change again over time (there was a time when France or the UK was the #1). Maybe in 100-200 years China will be the most powerful country on the globe. This stuff is quite dynamic and dont believe that everything will stay the same for all the time. Ya never know.
True. But I originally asked:

"Can someone tell me why I would be better off on a personal level living in the usa compared to say, france, spain or finland?"

On personal level it doesn't mean jack shit if your country is an economical power or have the biggest military, unless you want to believe that.
