Why doesn't the left call this theft of resources?
Wall Street Journal ^ | 9-19-2019 | Aaron Zitner

Democrats represent districts with the biggest clusters of professional jobs. Republican districts, by contrast, hold growing shares of the nation’s agriculture, mining and low-skill manufacturing jobs

Democrat cities have higher concentrations of wealth. Rural Republican areas produce resources. Why isn't this an example of 'stealing the worlds resources' the left keeps babbling on about? Shouldn't there be a movement to correct this imbalance?

Are those wealthy not paying for the produce or am I missing something?

Those wealthy workers are also paying the taxes that pay for the subsidies farmers get.

They could do worse.

They’re also being paid by taxpayers to do their jobs. The government is the largest employer.

When I was young, the Government paid their employees far less than the private sector. Much lower pay but with much better benefits. Every time the Left gets control of the Government, they raise wages exponentially. Now Government people get paid lots more for lots less work. A shame the taxpayers foot the bill for too many who don’t even bother to do much of anything. PS- not ALL Government employees are worthless, just the Leftist people

The government is too d*mn big. They all vote for their jobs. They are a burden that the producers in our economy are forced to bear.

This will not last forever.

The parties are changing. The Democrats are targeting cities and importing voters which leaves the Republicans targeting Americans. Whether having all your voters in concentrated targets and totally dependent on their adversaries for food, water, power, fuel, defense is a wise strategy remains to be seen.

The cities are part of a larger Panem. Rural America are the districts that feed these cities.

Seems like in the true spirit of Murphy's Law, it should be "If it can't happen, it will."

Thoughts?
