I was wondering why, to put it bluntly, Bangladesh sucks so much. This may shed some light:

"Corruption in Bangladesh has been a continuing problem with the country being ranked as the most corrupt country for the year 2005 in the list published by Transparency International." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Bangladesh

Corruption causes a disproportionate wealth disparity, it's one of the methods used to detect it. Works especially well within a country to identify more or less corrupt states. One argument is corruptions leads to reduced actual investment in infrastructure, roads, schools, things which increase a regions wealth, making corrupt areas show up pretty clearly on a map.

Why would someone downvote this comment?

Because people are tired of the 'everything is about wealth disparity' claptrap?

Especially here in Nerdghanistan. It really is a nice collection of Fachidioten.
