Finalizing the chart
The FiveThirtyEight chart displayed the bar's height above each bar. We can do this with a geom_text() layer. Positioning the text just right above the bar takes a few extra arguments; we've filled those in for you, but feel free to modify to see how it changes the graph. The plot you created in the previous exercise, flipped_plot, has been loaded for you.
