US Drops From First To Seventh In Average Wealth Per Adult, Behind Singapore, Sweden, And... France

Seems some of those "evil european socialists" actually are doing pretty well...you know...with their high taxes, and bleeding those stones and giving everyone a free ride...you know those "bankrupt welfare states"....


From Zerohedge.


As if we needed more warnings that the US is rapidly losing its position as the world's superpower and wealth aggregator, is the following chart from Credit Suisse, which ranks the top 10 countries in the world in terms of average wealth per adult. While the US was #1 10 years ago, due to an abysmal growth rate of only 23%, by far the lowest of all the ranked countries, the US has now dropped from first to seventh, falling behind such countries as Sweden and France. At the top - such perennially voted "top places to live" as Switzerland and Norway. Hopefully the US can fix its ever-expanding black hole of problems soon, as once the wealthiest decide they have had it here and move away, look for this number to drop ever faster until the US drops out of the ranking altogether...
