Hey Gus let me ask you: What would be a good comparison?

I was under the impression the U.S. economy is somewhat unique in terms of wealth distribution compared to most other first world nations (which would be the obvious choices for comparison).

I don’t think it does much good to compare. The problem is that we have so many billionaires and millionaires that it does appear to be more poorly distributed. Honduras, which they claim to be more equitable is amongst the poorest country in Latin America.

The people of Honduras are among the poorest in Latin America; Gross national income per capita (2007) is $US 1,649; the average for Central America is $US 6,736.
