At #167 is Haiti with a a Per Capita GDP of $761. The next North, South or Central American Country to make the list is Nicaragua at #135 with an annual Per Capita GDP of $2120...3 X that of Haiti. The Dominican Republic and Haiti basically are split sides of the same island, the DR comes in at #78 with a Per Capita GDP of $7159, or almost 10X the Per Capita GDP of Haiti. On the same island. You can pout, cry, scream or hold your breath until you are blue in the face...but if you live in one of the bottom 25 countries on this list---face it, you are living in a shithole. For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible. (Stuart Chase) It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
