Probably true, too.
Yeah and based on the last four years I have to believe it's true in some measure.

I'm all for saying the Professional Managerial Class sold out the rust belt. But how they choose to respond to it, and their own lack of self-involvement blows my mind.

Amazon's HQ2 is not coming to your former factory town because the governor cut corporate taxes, my friend. Stop the urban sprawl, support policies that concentrate people closer to major cities, and invest in yourselves. You can't cut taxes low enough for people to care about you. Without State/Federal spending you're never going to become a prosperous location.
