Follow the money

Browsing through Wikipedia looking for something else (can't remember what) I came across this map which distorts countries areas according to their per capita contributions to or subsidies from the European Union.

Net contributors

  -2,000 to -1,000 euro per capita

  -1,000 to -500 euro per capita

  -500 to 0 euro per capita

Net recipients

  0 to 500 euro per capita

  500 to 1,000 euro per capita

  1000 to 5,000 euro per capita

  5000 to 10,000 euro per capita

  10,000 euro plus per capita

Offered without comment. There's really none necessary, is there?
