Greed was calculated by comparing average incomes with the total number of inhabitants living beneath the poverty line.

A better indicator would have been to compare percentage of income donated to charitable causes. Use a sliding scale: 10% of a family income below, say $50,000, counts as 25% of a family income of greater than $100,000.

That would make the South look good. Whatever would the New York Times say?
