text: A couple of weeks ago there was a study released showing that there is a higher percentage of Americans making less than $10k per year then Canadians.  It also showed that there was a higher percentage of Canadians making more than $100k per year than Americans.  Canada does not have as many extremely wealthy people such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. whose incomes and wealth fool Americans into thinking they are wealthier since they pull up the average.  However, when you look at the segmentation of wealth the everyday Canadian is richer than the everyday American and we have a universal health care reducing our day to day anxiety to levels most Americans can only dream of.  I suggest you stop watching Fox and consider yourself lucky to be a Canadian.
