>"You're effectively fucking middle America into relocating both their people and businesses." I haven't taken anyone's job, I'm sensitive to wage disparities,

  Most of the problem with middle America not having jobs is brain drain. There's no jobs because it's very hard to find people to fill key roles. But there's no people to fill key roles because there's no longer any jobs, and they're in more populous centers. If you're pushing policy that prices the few businesses there out of the remaining pools they can hire from, you might as well just close up the middle of the country and admit defeat.
