In order for that blog posting to have any meaning behind it, the writer would have to compare the data with a socialist country like Denmark and also to a purely government-free, purely capitalistic society like Somalia.

As it stands now it is pretty meaningless.

I was actually thinking about something along these lines a few weeks ago. I was thinking that an "average" pay of 50,000 for a 50 year working life would amount to 2,500,000 dollars.

Then I thought about just the interest on "government" debt "paid" daily.

Yes, that "interest" is equal to the government shooting about 600 people in the back of the head every single day. Better get to digging them there trenches.
