Top 5 poorest states:

5. Kentucky
4. Alabama
3. West Virginia
2. Arkansas
1. Mississippi


What has happened to these states? What can we do to raise these states up so they lead the country instead of trail?

Please, let us have a serious discussion on this matter.

My lawd ya'll are talking about the South. You guys said it, not me. I was just curious what bound these states together, but if you all, and not Jastiger, are talking about the South, then this thread took a weird turn!

Cause the only successful industries down there are/were: flavored sugar water, cancer sticks, and crops that were only profitable if literal slaves picked them.

We're starting to go more third-worldly by having it be place for rich people to do whatever the gently caress they want.

Timber is barely a region sustaining industry (if so, Saskatchewan would be a powerhouse) and the DC metro area is barely the south. Not saying theres not counter examples and points but these aren't them.

Good job making fun of the serius generation poverty the populations of these predominantly african american states suffer under. Should they perhaps.... pull themselves up by their own bootstrips?
