"Value Added Percaptia [MVAP]for Switzerland and Japan is $8,095 and $7091 respectively vs. $5229 for the US [see link below]." The problem with that figure is it is only looking at manufacturing, completely ignoring services like software and banking. If you notice, the MVA for the US is only 16.3% of total GNP, all of the other countries you list are 20% or above of their GNP. If you take the GNP and divide it by population, you will find that very few, if any, countries are higher than the US. Not that this justifies the consumption by the US of the world's resources.
