[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good lord. It's education that makes people wealthy, not federal jobs by definition. You need a masters' degree to get many, many federal jobs. You can't slot a miner into a program manager position, or even HR.[/quote]

OK? Go do your job in Wisconsin.
Time to spread the wealth.
Too much concentrated in DC.[/quote]

You sound like a simpleton. The wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few *people,* who are intent on making even more money on the backs of the poor. But if we talk about taxing them, you scream about "wealth redistribution" and socialism.

But sure, go after middle class taxpayers if you like. We're actually from Grand Rapids and have no desire to move back. [/quote]

You won't need to -- you feds have skills that are REALLY in demand!
Private industry will be chomping at the bit to hire the folks who won't relocate.  :lol: [/quote]

Especially given that Trump like many republicans will like to reduce the number of people on the government payroll; when they forces the work done by the USG to be contracted out to companies that charge a ton more for the work and have less accountability.  So then the government workers that refuse to go back to their fly-over hometowns with the government can get better paying jobs with the contractors paid by the USG to do their former jobs.

Reducing the size of government and/or decentralizing it is not that clear cut.  In addition the many economies of scale in having things are centralized in one place - like having the headquarter of an oil company like Exxon based in Houston, where both the oil is and many/most of the associated industries around oil are also based.  Unless we move congress, and the white house out of DC, it will always be then"oil" that makes this place a logical location for 15% of the government headquarters (and all of the other hangeron contractors and supportive industries).
