Uh, no. Sorry, but the US has the most productive people in the world, along with highest per-capita income among comparable countries (certain middle eastern countries have a higher per-capita for obvious reasons). I don't feel like looking up the stats.
Well, you *should* look up the stats because you're wrong. The average American works more hours per week than the average European but the actual productivity of Europeans is much higher than the Americans. Asians (the Japanese, i believe) work the most hours per week. America is richer because you simply have more land and more people. Oh, and you SHOULD be more worried about China because they have more workers than you, and they're cheaper to boot.
