Nope, Luxembourg & Norway is richer (per citizen)..  8)

Look at Lumexbourg, $61.190 a year per citizen..  :o :o
It's because it's a "tax paradise" though, half of Europe's rich people got their money placed there..

So from the looks of that list the more white people there are the better a country's standard of living. Maybe the west should seriously consider its current policies of mass immigration from the third world.

Ukraine is only 70th ... I guess America screwed up letting your forefathers into their noble and superior country. According to your thoughts, you are probably one reason why USA isnt number 1.

It's not on this list, but if you look up Norway's tax scale, you'll see that they spend far more in taxes than the united states, therefore the people in the united States actually earn more money, because they don't have to pay taxes.

So how much does,.. let's say the average citizen in U.S. pay in taxes.. ?
If you made $35K-36K a year, how many percent would go into taxes.. ?

I also have a feeling that U.S. would have a lower average income per capita, if it wasn't for all the millionaires, billionaires, quadrupllezillionaires, etc.
We might not have as many millionaires, and only a couple of billionaries here, but there seems to be a much smaller gap between poor/rich here than what it seems like in U.S.
Bill Gates probably means $1000 + on the U.S. average income statistics alone.. lol

Actually, Canada does not suck. Last time I checked we had a better education system than the US and not only that, we have a universal health care system. Does your country have that?
