The Per Capita income for someone in the UK is like $44,000 American dollars...

Which is about 27,000 Pounds.  Not 16,000.

Though to be fair there is PPP and the fact that everything is so damn expensive in the UK due to socialism.... and taxes.

Though taking PPP into account they still make I$36,000  which is International dollars vs the US I$46,000.

So really.... I guess it's the taxes then due to all the socialist saftey net programs?  I don't know.  We're supposed to spend more of our GDP on healthcare though... so i don't know where all that UK money is going.
