Your point would be valid only if in the scenario where US has 8 million people they have the same amount of money they have now with 315 million people. Otherwise, as somebody already posted, you CAN compare just by looking at money spent per person.
And even more - if your point would be valid nobody could compare different countries on anything because they all have different population sizes, lol.
