Before I moved to Las Vegas I lived in the upstate of South Carolina from 1992 to 2008 in the Greenville/Spartanburg area.

It was DEVESTATED economically. Why? Because it was a huge textile area. The textile mills there ran 24 hours a day in 3 shifts and most neighborhoods were "mill houses" built by the companies to house their workers.

But those plants closed down one by one and moved to China. I saw it with my own two eyes.
So don't tell me that you can google up some companies and "prove" a damn thing. I watched the entire upstate of South Carolina die economically.

Then BMW opened a plant between Greenville and Spartanburg and the economy roared back to life.

But for thousands of textile workers...those particular jobs were gone and never came back.

And THOSE people are the ones you make fun of and call "angry".
You disgrace yourself when you treat your fellow human beings the way that you and your fake-liberal elitists buddys do.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
