No! I don't think they are on average poorer than Mississippi.... on average gross income they are about the same, but in the UK benefits in healthcare, 28 days mandatory vacation pay, maternity paid leave 39 of 52 weeks leave are paid at 90%, college education benefits and mandatory housing benefits for poor and middle class are much better than in Mississippi.
And if you don't use that healthcare, you can read about how Americans have it sooooooooooooooo much better.
I would agree.....you don't think.
It must be worth taking the risk you wont fall ill.
Every country would look that low with that statistic. That statistic is NOT adjusted for purchasing power. Stuff cost more here than elsewhere so... our money doesnt go as far.
The NHS In the UK is a disaster
People in the UK make far less than Americans and and my more in taxes

Rising UK energy costs hit consumer spending power
New analysis shows that higher gas, electricity and fuel costs are set to reverse earlier income growth forecasts, leaving average household incomes slightly lower this year.

Renewable energy is the cause in the UK energy costs are much higher because they are building renewable energy. Thats forcing manufacturers to leave and come to Americas. Its cost much more to live in the UK. You pay more taxes and get lower wages.
Energy costs rose in the US 10% last year which was greater than the UK. What are you talking about?
IM in the UK every year energy costs are much higher, taxes are higher health care is broke, living standards lower salaries lower,
I can only tell what is reported in aggregate. Your particular situation notwithstanding. We had 10% increases here. Stats show yours around 7% annually.
Increase here was caused by renewable energy but we still pay less then Europe. Europe is an energy disaster in the making
Wow, obfuscate. That is a pretty big word for conceal or cloud over, I know because I looked it up on my Mr. Green Jeans electronic dictionary.
It always comes back to that. Every tard here thinks they are so much smarter, tuned in and educated. Usually it turns out to be quite the opposite. If you are 2X smarter than Sue, you sure have a funny way of showing it.
