Hypocrisy on an epic scale

One of the Democrats favorite claims is that they are for the middle class, which presumes that the Republicans are against the same.  But talk is cheap.  When it comes to analyzing a situation, you need to be like old Sargent Friday on Dragnet--- just the facts ma'am.

So, I collected a few facts:

1. Joel Kotkin: The Great California Exodus : The blue states are punishing and driving out the middle class. Where's all this concern about the middle class in these states?
2. A thoughtful observation on the current political scene  Who votes Democrat?  Who are these people?

A third observation comes from North Dakota, which is a red state.  Where the Democrats and the anti-growth allies have not yet squashed the nascent oil industry there, the economy is booming.  The red states are doing better than the blue, and presumably so are the middle class residents of these states.  But the ones doing well in the blue states are the people who have managed to run things for the benefit of themselves-- not necessarily anybody else who may be in the middle class.

Of all the states, the one political entity (which is not a state) that has the highest GDP is Washington DC.  Nothing is produced in Washington but bureaucracy.  Their salaries and benefits come closer to be amongst the 1% than of the middle class.

Now, what was that again?
