This map surprises me on the low end:
Oregon=Pakistan; Illinois=Netherlands? I would have thought these two states would have double the output of Pakistan and the Netherlands.
On the poor side, KY=Bangladesh and MS=Angola? I live in KY and it’s poor, but it’s sure no Bangladesh, and MS is no Angola either.

All in spite of the downward NWO pressure of progressive thought, Marxist ideology, and leftist politics.

Gross Domestic Product = “the market value of all the goods and services produced by labor and property located in” the region”. It is not factored for population. Bangladesh has 150 million people plus, Kentucky 4.4 million. You are much more productive in Kentucky.

On July 4th Demand Freedom, Don't Celebrate The State

Dr Ron Paul
July 4, 2016

As we gather with family and friends to celebrate the July 4th holiday we should remember that we are not celebrating the state, but rather commemorating an act of secession from an oppressive government. We are celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain - a daring move by the Founders inspired by a desire for liberty.

Thomas Jefferson famously said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." That does not only mean that we should be prepared to defend against foreign invaders. Perhaps more importantly it means that we must retain the lessons from the original American revolt and guard against a government that views the people as the enemy.

(snip)

(The public school system and Marxist teachers/professors have produced American children today that do not even know why July the 4th is celebrated and that we're to be ashamed of our successes and greatness)

More like it was the best country before Obama and democrat congress majority for many decades. Now it is flooded with illegals, cheap workers from low wage countries, Obamacare, decimated military, open borders, sanctuary cities for illegals, Trillion dollar foreign trade deficits EVERY YEAR.

“Illinois is Venezuela or soon will be.

Are you talking about Chicongo? The South side is called Chiraq — IIRC.

After Haley Barbour stabbed Pat Buchannan in the back, Haley is the enemy, IMO.

Yup

The last time I saw one of these charts they were comparing Alabama to Iran. Iran has more than five times the population as Alabama.

Shoot, Metro Houston, Texas has more people than Alabama.

Who knew, Alabama's #1 export is autos, not cotton. I expect that to be aircraft sometime in the near future. (Airbus)

Interesting. I think it’s sad that only gold medals seem to count in Olympics, though. It’s like if you silver or bronze, you failed.
