Very shaded truths. Last time I visited that side of the country, I got to talk to a politician from Washington. I remember arguing with him about guns, and then he made a smug statement. "You see that tower there, from atop of it, I can see every vote I need that matters in this state. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks or says, if I can get those right here to agree with me, I have already won."

That would have been the "space needle" of Seattle. Most of Washington was pleasant, except for the majority of everything West of the Cascades. Beautiful country to the West, and a lot of "Texas" like country towns I guess you could say. Too bad they get bullied around by the idiots from Sea-Tac. That's the way politics works over there though.
Sounds like he was trying to tax the country folk without bothering to represent them.
Why should he in his world? They are the minority and do not matter.
Because they grow his food, mine the raw materials to build his buildings, and generate the electricity (and other forms of power) required to maintain his lifestyle. The democrats think our economy would suffer if we got rid of the illegal immigrants? Whatever economic impact that would have would be pale in comparison to what would happen if everyone outside the major cities went on strike.

His point of view constitutes what should be (in a politician anyway) a criminal lack of logistical & managerial understanding.
