Spot on. I would extend your analysis to include the median middle-class person is probably better off in Spain vs most/all US states. This, even though the Spaniard personally earns less income. Largely as a result of the economically precarious nature of living in the US.
Healthcare, childcare, education, retirement are all big expensive things the US does incredibly poorly.
Even more, the huge problems in the US like crime and poor healthcare outcomes are made worse by the increased inequality.
