The United States is not one of the top five richest countries in the world. Im not sure if we are even in the top ten. Our standard of living is also not in the top ten.

Are you joking? What is your source for that assertion?

Sorry if you guys don't know the truth. This is common knowledge - its widely reported. As of 1996, we were (I think) 5th in Standard of living. As I corrected myself in my post to Lazamataz, the U.S. is not in the top five in average household income, which is what I meant by "richest".
