And exactly what was your point? Socialism is a disease of success and The Coastal states were the seats of commerce because of water transportation. The same applies to most larger cities that were located on river ways.
Wealth attracts people both great and small and sooner or later the small out number the great and they vote. Acknowledging that fact does not make me a socialist as you assert.
I don't know a single person that had any choice where they were born or whether their parents were rich or poor. I am also aware enough to note that there is no equality of intelligence.
I didn’t call you a “socialist”, nor did I even vaguely imply nor infer it. You must be feeling guilty. ;^)
