Income comparisons are usually inaccurate. Would you rather earn $100K in NYC or $60K in Asheville, NC? The latter will provide with a far higher standard of living. It is only on paper that the NYC wage would be higher.
UN figures are skewed towards socialist countries by double counting many items. Government provided services are often added to Gross Income. Thus, the service is counted and the income paid in taxes to fund the service is counted. This is not accidental.
Add to this mix the effect of currency fluctuations. By the expedient of cherry picking dates for comparison large, false, agenda driven numbers can be created and are.
America's high wages have always been a fucntion of labor shortage. Among the earliest wage controls were Maximum Wage laws enacted in the 1630s by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They did not work.
In the 1920s laws were passed restricting immigration that institutionalized a macroeconomic closed shop. This forced capital to pay higher wages and invest in ever newer technology. This, not the New Deal, not unionization, is what drove wages upward.
This was reversed in the 1960s and the gains for the average working man have petered out and declined since.
It will get worse. Rising wages and advancing technologies are incompatible with a limitless labor supply. The Bengladeshi are not going to reach American wage levels any time soon nor are American wages going to fall to Bengladeshi levels. But they will tend towards each other as they have since de facto and de jure open borders have been put in place.
The hostile elite that dominates in government and has a near monopoly in the media is silent on this. Most economic data are razzle-dazzle designed to bamboozle you into falling in line with policies aimed at impoverishing you.
The glorification of all things communist is a propaganda tool to encourage you, when in a hole, to keep on digging. America is in a deepening hole. The way out is to stop importing more labor and export all that is not "Ourselves and our posterity."
A shorthand way of saying it is that White Americans have to become racially conscious again and pursue policies, openly and proudly, that benefit themselves. A good way to advance this is to post the Mantra. Do it for the children, your fair skinned darlings.
