I can’t seem to convince Wolfram Alpha to give me not the income, but wealth distribution in the USA vs. Canada and Germany.
As for anecdotic evidence,
I’ve seen lots more homeless people in the streets in the USA (San Diego) than in Germany (Tübingen).
And while you’re solidly in the top quintile (probably even top percent) of both income and household wealth,
as potentially unemployable as I am (you can check if you want to),
I won’t drop anywhere as deep here in Germany than in the USA.
“Check your privilege” sounds disgustingly woke, but there you are.
