Most people would call that smart. No socialist ideas were espoused. They only pointed to countries that are doing better than we do. I know thats very inconvenient for most americans.
it talks about societies allocating human talent, that is social engineering or socialist programs. are we animals that can be bread a certian way and have the so-called smart ones decide what to do with us. I rather take my chances on my own thank you. you stay with the smart one- the europea,ons I'LL stay with the Americans!!

You stay with the dumb side? After all you concurred that the European side is the smart side.
Yep. America is the country of the superrich and the superpoor.
purchasing power parity per capita, the value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given year divided by the average (or mid-year) population for the same year.
Yeah, the billionaires don't factor in at all.
Do you remember math in school? Do you remember the difference between median and mean? The billionairres factor in no more than you and I in the median PPP. Look at the second list of numbers giving median as opposed to mean PPP.

America is the country of the super-rich because there is opportunity in America. Unfortunately, America is also the country of the super-poor because those receiving public assistance have a birth rate 3 times that of those who actually earn the means to support themselves, save and invest, and accumulate wealth.
We are a country of super-poor because the super-poor are exponentially outbreeding everyone else, enabled and encouraged by a government that PAYS them to do nothing other than breed.

Sure because we have the working poor. We work on average annual more than our European counterparts.
When we adjust for both these factors and look at GDP in 2005 per person per hour worked, there is virtually no difference between Germany, France and the US.

The main reason the US is richer is, first of all, because a higher proportion of Americans are in employment and, secondly, they work about 20% more hours per year than Europeans.

That is HEAVILY skewing the stats.
So America is on its way to become a third world country?
So the poorest people in the EU are not as poor as the poorest americans, because they don't outbreed themselves?

Yes, if the exponential disparity in birth rates is not reduced.
Post the EU birth rate stats for the welfare-dependent compared to those who don't receive welfare. We'll see.
Don't think EU keeps track of those stats. Their fertility rate overall however is lower than in america. I don't think they have a problem with "overbreeding", more so with "underbreeding".
