American houshold income is a meme, cool 150K/year but its 100K to give birth, 50K for a medical procedure and 300K to put your kid through college. I'm not necessarily for or against their system, I don't know which system is better. But they damn sure don't just earn many times more than europeans, life is far more expensive there. Australia and Belgium top the charts for median net worth, with much lower household income. Because my kids school bills never exceed €50/month and a doctors visit is €4. I just had surgery on my head twice, remove benign tumors, not a medical necessity. Total cost €0 didn't even get a bill. I talked to some faggot in florida paying $20.000/year in home insurance.
