Because the money isn’t shared among all of their citizens. Although the PPP looks high when conspired to developed nations like France, that money isn’t actually distributed evenly amongst the Mississippi people. There’s a difference in how much a state produces in a dollar amount (gdp) and then taking that amount and dividing by total population….. versus the actual amount that people in Mississippi actually bring home because they’re underpaid, overtaxed, and the elite gobble up everything and they also get all the tax breaks. Poor people in the US pay way more in taxes as a percentage of their overall pay and they make less now than almost any time before. The rich are getting richer and they don’t actually pay a fair percentage in taxes and they also have access to a ton of loopholes designed just for them. That’s why Mississippi is perceived as a poor state – because most people there are extremely poor. There’s a couple pockets where rich people with ties to government and corporations huddle together and funnel all of the tax income to those areas, but overall, it’s a very sad and unattractive place due to its severe and widespread poverty
