I was there. I saw it. Your theory just isn't true. When govt. drops it oppressiveness and creates a beneficial environment for business to thrive...it lifts the economy.
It's not brain surgery to figure that out.
Jobs = good. No jobs = bad.
As for your ignorant statement about "low wages" You are talking out of your ass on that one. I lived there. I have friends who have been working there for a dozen or more years. They make the best money of their lives.
Instead of just commenting, you should research it first

Let's do some research then.
The city of
Spartanburg, SC - where the plant is located - has a median household income of $28k... Almost half of the national rate of $52k. BMW isn't even in the top ten employers for the city.
