Anyway, Tool, your counter example doesn't work.
That's one city. Does EVERYONE in country live in that city? No.
The majority of America lives WAY above rest of the world's standard of living. Start with our military as well for starters:
Does that look like the rest of the world is rich? It doesn't to me.
The issue with that argument is that America is incredible indebted. So using the argument that we spend more on protection we technically don't even need is kinda a moot point.
If you really look at it, the large majority of America is the same way, as well. Lots of little towns without much money to spend on much of anything. The only point you've technically brought up is that you cannot use ONE city as a guideline to a country's wealth.
