Except, of course, that Europe is different and not necessarily better:

The poorest US state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is higher than that of Europe’s top five economies, except for Germany. However, Mississippi competes closely with Germany, with a difference of just €1,500.

People in Mississippi, ferchrissakes, have more purchasing power that people all across Europe.

Think about that. We think Poor folks in Mississippi are poor, and economically disadvantaged….and they are……But compared to Europe, they are not. They are wealthy, in fact.
