TL,

What reason does anyone have to post, whatever, here?

It's bait and it works. Why not use it?

Georgie-boys oil wars?

So, what are you trying to say?

Just look at the maps and draw your own conclusions.

It was an illustration that the more things change, the more they stay
the same.

Oil wars? That's not even a "nice" try. Don't forget to get your tinfoil hat
cleaned, Opie.

Very interesting. Pity they didn't give the rankings of all the states.

Thanks.

As I suspected, the poor states, having relatively lower populations
and low mean icomes, are distorted by the donations of the high income
earners in those states. This site has the answer in it's
spreadsheets of over $200K and all returns. The high income earners
in these poor states are amongst the largest givers. That has a
disporpotionate effect vs. wealthy states. In high income states, the
largest earners don't have the same distorting effects. Too bad they
don't have a spreadsheet for the under $200K returns as that would be
far more meaningful.

It's the problem when mean is used to produce an index like this.

Or it could be another dynamic at work.... poor folk, knowing what it feels
like to be poor, have a stronger motivation to give.
