But with that half-cocked rant out of the way, I think it's important to keep some perspective about just how rich the USA is compared to the rest of the world. This chart will help.
What is shows is that the poorest Americans are still much better off than the vast majority of people in Brazil, China and India. Spare a thought for the less fortunate, but don't restrict your concern only to fellow Americans.
