Income inequality and Red v. Blue maps strongly (if imperfectly) correlate.

You are saying 90% of the workers in large portions of Texas, Kentucky, West Virginia, etc could all join the top economic levels of the country like you by showing up and being in time? My guess is you are a white guy with good education whose bad choices involved drinking or using drugs while your parents supported you. You live in a metropolitan area and have good credit.

jkga – Inequality in the United States is the result of choices. Your parents if you’re a child, yours if you’re an adult. New Mexico became a state on Jan. 6, 1912. If you’re living in poverty today because of what happened in 1912 its your fault. Education is free up to the 12th grade. Job training is free in the military, with the bonus of college.

If you want to be successful in this country all you have to do is show up on time and do the best job you can. Do those two things and you will be ahead of 99.99999% of the poor (and 75% of the average) people in this country. There are too many examples of people who started out at the bottom in a company and worked their way to the top just by showing up, working hard and taking advantage of the training offered by their employer. One of the mechanics where I work was offered to be shown how to handle breakdowns when a truck needed repairs on the road. He took it even tho it didn’t pay more. By showing initiative he got the supervisor training position when one opened up. The other mechanics who had been there longer and turned down the offer were crying that it wasn’t fair he got the promotion.

I have been broke and wondering where my next meal was coming from. This was from making poor decisions, not someone else”s fault. Broke is a condition, poor is an attitude. I have never been poor.

Today I make over 6 figures without a college education.

> …what does the inequality in West Virginia come from?

Coal mine owners vs. coal miners maybe?
