I'd like to see such a comparison too. But even with purchasing power parity calculations and even just considering the poor, the US would be ahead of the worlds average and well ahead of the third world. The lifestyle of a typical poor American would not be considered poverty by the typical person in Sierra Leone or Cambodia.
