I love it how he says "richest country in the world".

Of course it's just decades old propaganda leftovers. Leftovers that only conservatives would evoke to make a stand for the American way, that supposedly got them to that point in the first place. In truth, the world has moved on decades ago, just like on this whole debate. The entire world views the American welfare ideals to be as failed, as Soviet communism.
