>Where does this myth that people at the coasts are all wealthy come from? Such a myth wasn't presented above. The literal quote was: >priorities of those in your wealthy costal social circles. I don't think anyone in America or elsewhere believes that all people at the coasts are wealthy. We all know of the social problems and inequality in both coasts of America. I would think what people perceive is the problem here is that a disproportionately large part of the wealth and power is in hands of coastal elites, these "social circles". I don't claim that's actually true, I don't know it well enough - I'm not even American (I'm from northern Europe); but I'm sure this is how it is perceived by people in what is so arrogantly called "flyover country". Such a language immediately flags to me that there will be a backlash.
