The people in the middle in Oklahoma, have high incomes compared to other developed nations.
But they get mulcted out of it because of their godawful public services. From a colleague who works in that state I hear that everyone who can half afford it sends their children to private school because public schools are simply too bad. Then they vote to fund schools even less. Small-government in action.
- BoiledCabbage 9y agoYes this is political. It's mind-boggling to me how much of modern republican politics is "I've got mine. Fuck if I'll pay for yours." Directly paired with "No-one cares about us we been forgotten about and left behind. Someone look out for us." There is an entire American party based on looking out for the overlooked. Maybe vote for them??
