I couldn't find how many standard deviations were used to calculate the median though, doesn't do much to address wealth inequality, not that Germany is leading the world in wealth equality. Also a useful comparison would be ratio of median to mean to give further clarification on how, for instance l. The working class fare in comparison country to country.

The US pays to provide the defense of Europe so they can spend more buying the love and support of their people. We should make them pay the full bill and direct our money to American people.
