Money Matters
The Gallup researchers found evidence of what many have long
suspected: money does buy happiness--at least a certain kind of it. In a
related report, they studied the reasons why countries with high gross
domestic products won out for well-being, and found an association
between life satisfaction and income.

Exactly, you and I are just in a disagreance over how the money should be distributed ie. who should get the lions share. I'd prefer if as great a portion of our population continued to be middle class or better, rather than seeing an ever growing share continuing to flow to the top 5%.

I noticed Cuba was 67th and North Korea did not appear.

Any other rankings you'd like to trot out? And can you help me
understand the relevance?

Spoiler:

I never said we weren't doing alright. Just using the socialist countries as examples of why we shouldn't be aspiring to be more right-wing economically and why we should continue to stay to the left of centre preferably (IMHO).
