'As government expands, liberty shrinks!'
George Rebane
Our intrepid columnist George Boardman in the 21oct19 Union laid out (here) a carefully concocted list of stats.
- Democrat “districts” generate 63% of GDP, while Republican districts manage only 37%.
- Democrat household incomes increased 17%, while Republican HHs only increased 3%.
- Democrat “districts” have greater concentrations (“clusters”) of college degrees.
- Democrat “districts” contain 75% of our professional and digital worker jobs, while Republican districts contain mostly agricultural, mining, and low-skilled manufacturing jobs.
With these in mind, Mr Boardman’s clear message to our light thinkers is that Democrats are the party of goodness and light, containing the smart, wealthy, and productive, while Republicans are the party of the backward, ignorant, poor, and struggling. The better read who understand the demographics of Democrats' long-controlled urban districts will have none of this.
What this little piece of nascent propaganda omits are data on what kind of people overwhelm Democrat districts, and those who are moving in vs. out. He says nothing about the millions of our poor, dismally under-educated, criminal, and welfare recipients concentrated in urban areas who provide the sinecures for Democrat politicians. And Mr Boardman doesn’t tell the reader about where the lion's share of wealth is produced in our service and digital economy, along with the rampant income inequality and humongous transfer payments in these ‘districts’ and ‘regions’ all of which give rise to the skewed statistics to make such selectively massaged messages possible.
