I don't know where you are getting your information about the U.S., but if it's from the same source as the information your're getting about world history, I think you have a problem. And didn't I read somewhere not long ago that the average "poor" family in the U.S. has a higher family income than the average middle class Swedish family? As I recall, the source was a Swedish government study. But, I could be wrong.
