You can't charge people making 15 or 20$/hr to bail out people making 70 $/hr while being much less skilled and working less hard. Why should a worker in the South that produces a better product lose his job because someone in the North gets welfare? If they do bail out minority states despite the gross injustice, then every American worker should totally boycott the 2.x in protest. It really is that simple when you really get down to it.
