This is about middle America. This is about the machine. The coal miners, the truck drivers, the ass-busting people that have
been pissed on by this establishment with regulations and political correctness and taxes and Obamacare. They just have had it.
The people know what they want. They know they have been so decimated.
They might want to think that, but the reality is that the average incomes there are too high to be true middle America, plus they're literally in NYC
We've been through this before.
While those incomes may be "high" for middle America, they are barely middle class for anyone living in NYC.
It is nearly everyone's dream to move out of NYC to the south or mid-west but make New York money, that just does not happen.
This is why most of the people you see moving south or whatever are retirees. They've made their money and now are seeking to keep NYC/NYS from raping them in taxes and whatever else they call it to get their mitts on people's money.
I am always struck by the "amber waves of grain" and the "mountain majesty" of Middle America's Staten Island.
Yeah, but Middle America is also, in fact mostly, blue collar, lower middle and working class industrial suburbs of the Midwest. Not a whole lot different from Staten Island. It certainly isn't the yuppies climbing around on the mountain majesty in their $500 hiking outfits.
SI has more in common with Cleveland and St.Louis than it does with Tribeca, the UES, or most of Brooklyn.

Doesn't Staten Island have the highest household incomes?
