The difference between Massachussets and Mississippi is bigger than between the UK and Bulgaria. Your 'almost identical standard of living' statement is utterly wrong.

That doesn't seem right but I don't know enough about Bulgaria to dispute it

Somewhere in this comment section someone has placed a Human Development Index ranking, it's proven there.

It's not actually, the source he gives has this at the top of it

EDIT WITH HUGE DISCLAIMER: The US HDI is not at all comparable to the world HDI. The data which this map represent are not, in fact based on the American Human Development Project; and the AHDP's data are not, in fact, suitable for making international comparisons - they were specifically designed with the American context in mind.

Total shit.

Fair enough, but I still think there is some truth in the comparison. There are indeed large economical differences in the US and you never hear California or New York saying they want out. Economic transfers are completely normal within a country and I would like it to become acceptable in the EU too.

This is absolutely not true at all. The differences in standards of living between European countries is vastly larger than the differences in standards of living between US states.

I dont think so, while the dispoable income is smaller the prices are also vastly different. Massachusetts is more expensive to live in then Mississippi. Can we get some numbers up in here?
