Poll: World going to hell in a handbasket as nation comes apart at seams

[Tsing Tao]

Time to address the geographic accounting issue -- when a corporation is "based" in NYC or Delaware then all the GDP contributions from their factories in North Carolina count towards the GDP of the blue counties instead of being properly reflected as actually being created by a red county. Many of these corporations don't even have an office in the states/counties they file paperwork in.

In other words the idea that Clinton won counties consisting of 64% of the GDP is pure nonsense. Let's take a look at where the corporate operations are located rather than where they file paperwork.

This is why I made the comment I did. Tony doesn't understand incorporation very well, apparently.

when commenting on Tony's article...
first look at that map...

Then think...


is it a surprise that areas with massive illegal alien and lots of govt takers would be big GDP area who vote for democrats?


You can bet those blue areas get massive amounts of govt spending.

Let's do it based on the counties that Hillary and Trump won in the recent election. "Country Hillary" in blue would get the large urban welfare-ridden cesspools, and "Country Trump" in red would consist of most of the landmass populated by hardworking patriotic Americans.

The hardworkers voted for Hillary

Report: Clinton Won Richest Counties – 64 Percent of US GDP

By Cathy Burke | Tuesday, 22 Nov 2016 05:56 PM

Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election, but won the balloting in regions that generate nearly two-thirds of the American economy, a new analysis shows.

According to the Brookings Institution analysis, the less-than-500 counties Clinton won nationwide combined to generate 64 percent of America's economic activity in 2015, the Washington Post reported.


The more-than-2,600 counties President-elect Donald Trump won combined to generate 36 percent of the country's economic activity last year.

With the exceptions of the Phoenix, Ariz., and Fort Worth, Texas, areas, and a large part of Long Island, N.Y., Clinton won every large-sized economic county in the country, the researchers found.

Common now, you were the one saying state secession was a pipe dream.
