Comparing us revenues with eu ones is tricky. Yes, in raw dollars those poor are better off in the US. But, and I admit to not having read any of those links, my guess is that if you compensate for things like public transport, healthcare, education and other things, the US doesn't compare favorable when you're poor.

Yeah. Increasingly entrenched wealth inequality, and failing public services means the USA as a whole is looking more and more like a 2nd world state these days. The 1st world part is increasingly just for the upper classes.
