I wish people would stop spreading tropes like these. While the USA as a whole has the highest GDP globally there are better ways of measuring how rich a country is.
Absolutely... no measurement that doesn't calculate an index on a per capita basis can be taken seriously. Meanwhile, noone mentions that the USA has the highest incarceration rate per capita in the so-called free world, and they call themselves "Land of the Free". The constant propaganda has completely disconnected Americans from reality.
If we weren't so rich, we couldn't afford to imprison so much of our population!
But think of the prison stocks' shareholders!
(yes, this is real. For-profit prisons)
