"Maybe Bush needs to consider some kind of incentive or something to get the unemployed and welfare types who can't find jobs distributed better ...",

Sam Kinnison, "Move to the food" notion.

I don't know what to tell people. We have unimagined highways, most everyone has a car, and if people can't figure their way to a job, when people come from all over the world to work here, well..something's wrong.

There is a lot of federal money pouring into this region because of very high chronic unemployment and high welfare rates --- maybe instead of redistributing the money they need to redistribute the poor people so they will get up to states like yours that are doing so well and jobs are plentiful. We've got all these NAFTA displaced workers who haven't worked in years and if something isn't done they'll likely never work again. Many lost those jobs when they were over 40, now they're over 50 and still not working. Another 10 years or so --- they'll be retiring.

they come from all over the world to be dishwashers or cut lawns or put up sheetrock for $50/day and no benefits, or they come to work in the IT industry for half the prevailing US wage.

you want people to "move to the food"? what you are really asking them to do is "move to the crumbs". their choice will instead be to elect people who will provide their assistance by raising taxes.

this plan of Wesley Clark, to eliminate the income tax on people making below $50K and funding it with much higher taxes on those making more then $250K, don't laugh, that has alot of mileage in an economy like ours.
