“Its not the Prius vs. the pickup truck, it’s the Prius vs. the Hummer.”

“The red-state, blue-state war is happening in the upper half of the income distribution.”

Or more accurately, I think, the red-blue war is happening…

And it’s happening in the poor states. And it first reared its head in the 90s.

Interpret.

red blue rich poor

    Did you see James Kwak’s post with the Austan Goolsbee video??? I swear to God Steve I’ve never seen something so accurate/hilarious in my entire life. And the SUrprise Clinton press conference tonight (Friday night)?? Did you watch it Steve??? If not watch the whole damed thing on YOutube and freeze frame every moment. Remember when I talked about the benefits of alcohol Steve?? I have only a sneaking suspicion…… There was one guy on that stage who was masochistic, it was not President Clinton……
