I wish people would stop spreading tropes like these. While the USA as a whole has the highest GDP globally there are better ways of measuring how rich a country is.
Even per capita is stupid. In the US, 500 people have everything, and it skews the average even still. If you go and cut the top 2% off and re-average, the US wouldn't even be in the top 50.
