I'm just pointing out how implausible the claim is that the vast majority of Americans are far worse off than Spaniards. Of course there's more to life than money and GDP/capita is an imperfect measure, but the median American leads a very comfortable life.

The median spaniard will have fewer working hours, more holidays, more paternity leave, lower risk of abruptly loosing their job, have a longer life expectancy, less likely to struggle with extreme medical bills, need to put away less money for children schooling, etc?

Perhaps you have the wrong idea about Spaniards?
