Original Note:
The claim that the people in the countries listed in the graphic are "all poorer than West Virginia" (a direct quote) is false. Median wealth per person is a far more accurate indicator than GDP per capita as it factors in income disparity, which is far greater in the US. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-top-countries-by-wealth-per-person/ https://www.investopedia.com/median-income-by-state-5070640
