[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad to say, but it’s obviously never going to get better. Flyover America has been circling the drain since at least the 70s. Why don’t they have motivation to put their families in a better place to succeed; a place with a dynamic economy and competitive peers? Politicians are so obsessed with new immigrants because they see flyover people as hopeless.[/quote]

This has probably already been said about a million times, but I would guess they don’t leave because that’s where all their friends and family are. Which is really what makes life worthwhile. [/quote]
So, instead they'll continue to live off of welfare and complain about how the illegal immigrants are taking their jobs. I'm pretty sure way back when their ancestors didn't want to leave their friends and family behind, too.  I know mine didn't, but they did it for a better life because there was no social welfare to lean on. Instead, they  moved across an ocean, with no English or job skills and managed to find menial jobs, buy a small house and put two kids through college. This used to be called the American way.  I think many Americans have lost their way.[/quote]

Amen.

I shudder to think what the new American Values are in this day and age. Not pretty. [/quote]
