> policy makers that serve the hand that feeds them?
More like, California and Federal level policymakers have been too lenient and let town and city level politicians make too much selfish policy that hurts the state and country level economy and progress.
The economic powerhouse areas don't belong only to their current residents. Everyone in the country has a right to strive for wealth and a better life by moving to economically active regions. We shouldn't create a society where your economic class is determined by where you happened to be born.
Slamming the door behind you and looking down on the poors is a common neoliberal philosophy though, its really disconcerting how many people are apt to blame those below them in earnings/stature for being in said situation. No leniency is given, nor help. Very un-Christian, but most of those who claim to be Christian/Catholic do not follow the core teachings of said religion, instead choosing to follow neoliberalism ideology.
Its wretched, but that is the society we live in today! Why haven't you picked yourself up by your bootstraps yet? /s
