UK is poorer than all the states

If Britain were a State, it'd be poorer than any other state in the U.S. If Britain were a State, it'd be poorer than any other state in the U.S. This is especially bad because Britain is the richest Kingdom in the United Kingdom. This is based on US figures for GDP per state divided by population to come up with a GDP per capita figure -- then compare that to Britain (or the UK). Then add in the purchasing power parity adjustments. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2022-05-08

Many people leave that last part out, but when you have a 20% VAT tax, it means that while your GDP might look fine, the actual purchasing power is far less.

Do we really want to be more like them? Or do we want them to be more like us?
