Yeah - I agree. Just because the gap is growing is not a bad thing. It just means that wealth in America is growing.
Living in Mississippi, I have seen a great explosion of wealth in parts of the state (while living other poverty stricken areas in the dust).
Increased wealth in America is a good thing. And conservatives more than liberals are likely to be advantaged by this.
What part of the Great State? I grew up in Jackson...right down the street from North Park Mall.
