Good thing too, since no prison in the U$$A spends even 1/10th that

Proof the U$$A is the "greatest" nation on earth:



Man, why is it your ilk like to use $$$$$$$$ in every other word? Is that
your idea of creative writing?

Here are some other statistics for your amusement:

GDP (per capita)

Luxembourg $44,586
United States $35,935
Bermuda $34,396
San Marino $33,898
Cayman Islands $32,531
Switzerland $31,635
Norway $31,601
Belgium $28,963
Denmark $28,963
Canada $28,932

Ok, maybe there is something to your use of $$ since the United States is
extremely prosperous. Note most of the other countries you referenced don't
even make the top ten?
Liechtenstein ranks 28th.

Murder rates per 1000 people

Columbia 0.65
South Africa 0.5 (Grantland who I believe lives there says this is
understated)
Jamaica 0.33
Venezuela 0.33
Russia 0.2
Mexico 0.13
Lithuania 0.1
Estonia 0.1
Latvia 0.1
Belarus 0.1

The United States is ranked 23rd.

In total crime, the United States ranks below the UK, Denmark, Finland, and
New Zealand, among others. Not bad under the circumstances.

And the US is 30th (higher the better) in per capita taxes. Liechtenstein
is ranked 8th

To end on a positive note, the United States heads the list of average years
of schooling for adults. Move here from whatever third rate country you
currently reside in and you too might have the opportunity to develop some
reasoning skills!
