Ah yes, you must think Seattle is still the same 1970's Seattle. Their economy isn't invested in any one company because they learned their lesson in the 70s, unlike Detroit.
Right. NOT!
Seattle's economic foundation is based on limited productivity and a LOT of borrowing. I never said anywhere that Boeing was their only business. I'm saying it only takes one large, fed-up-with-being-abused industry, and Seattle will start wobbling and heading downhill. And Boeing is the employer they love to hate the most.
The rich and the government were the same entities then.
Yes because the rich controlled the government. Unless you are finally coming around and admitting we do a poor job taking care of our poor in this country while giving to the rich. It is time to make the government work for the poor and middle class, not the rich.

Your vision of what would happen to Seattle if Boeing somehow left the Puget Sound is false. Though I am sure some of the cities in the Puget Sound would take a hard hit if a company like that left, but Seattle would be fine and their economy would still be strong.
Wrong. They became rich BECAUSE they had unlimited power.

No, you're just wrong about everything.

LOL!!!!
The cascade effect of excessively indebted people combined with falling retail prices that were used to prop up the "money train"... You simply cannot even imagine, since your exposure to reality is so limited.

Well then you should pack your bags and move to a Conservative Wonderland where they give nothing to the poor to make sure the wealthy stay fed.

And thus is why the rich get the tax breaks while guys like you run to their defense.
you don't get it. they control both parties homie. I am just not idiotic enough to believe that one sides has my best interest at heart. politicians have no hearts.
