>The bottom 20% of Americans have more wealth than a majority of Europoors.
That is negated by the fact we have a higher cost of living and are forced to use more expensive form of transportation (owning a car) because most places don't have public transit. Our taxes are lower but still take a huge portion of our paycheck.
In the 1980s I'd say we had it better than the average Euro but not anymore.
