Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up.
Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition, but first.
This is Brian Dean Wright filling in for Bill O'Reilly.
On this Wednesday, I am thinking about wealth in America.
The United States is the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
Total worth in the USA topped $141 trillion in 2021.

a very good chance at making it rich. Here's that data. The median income currently stands at
67,000 bucks in this country. The nation is also home to the most millionaires on earth.
19 million people have more than one million bucks in the bank. That's roughly 6% of our entire
population. The country also has 620 billionaires. Meanwhile, half of the population owns stock,
or holds private investments.
Even the poorest of our citizens, their living standard here is better than anywhere else
in the world.
97% of Americans living in poverty have a cell phone.
99% have refrigerators.
98% have cable television.
80% have air conditioning.
92% have internet access and 70% have at least one car.

European nations. They have more assets, better access to health care, and have twice the
living space compared to people living in France, Germany, and Italy. Somebody better go tell
Bernie Sanders, he's going to be very, very surprised. Back after this. Let's face it,
the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the market.
