I picked American Samoa because it's American. Poorer than the 50 states, yes, but still a part of our country. And vastly wealthier than, say, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Okay, fine, but 1) a developing region being annexed by a developed one does not automatically make the demographic situation identical and 2) why not compare apples to apples by using United States (contiguous 48) stats to discuss a domestic situation in the United States? It paints a more accurate picture.
