[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are of course pockets of wealth in flyover country but it's earned it reputation overall; Obese, welfare, uneducated, sluggish economy, endless abandoned towns.[/quote]

you really have no idea what you are talking about....[/quote]

Two decades of brain drain. Every smart and/or rich kid in the Midwest b-lines to Chicago or the coasts at 18 or 22. The Rust Belt has zero chance because year by year it becomes a higher concentration of hopeless people.[/quote]

Maybe, but they usually come back.  Most of my friends have, and hopefully I will soon follow. They are hardly "hopeless" people.  They return because it is a great place to raise a family, way better than DC.  I am a native, and I know more than some self-proclaimed sociologist sitting behind a keyboard.  Try not to sound quite so angry and bitter.  What did the people in flyover country do to you? Oh, yeah, some of them didn't vote for your girl Hillary.  Get over it!   [/quote]
