Yes, compared to the average European, average Americans are poor. There are extremely few cases of Europeans having to work two or three jobs just to allow their family to barely survive without any health care coverage at all as is the case with most Americans. In most European countries the health coverage is affordable to all and even free in some countries (Sweden and Britain come to mind) and includes the whole population. In most of Europe, University tuition fees are barely above $1,000 a year, so those from modest families and incomes can afford University education. Furthermore, the average European has five to six weeks of paid vacations every year and a work week of 40 or less hours, and a far better standard of life than the average American. Also, your Americans down at the Mall with their credit cards are in debt up to their necks, whereas most Europeans are not in debt at all. America has the finest military in the world? Then why is it bogged down in Iraq, and why have over 40 thousand US soldiers deserted in the past three years? An American military consisting largely of overweight or even obese soldiers does not make it the finest military in the world, either.
