That's about 11 million of us in our population of 311 million.<br /><br />So that means that 300 million Americans are going to have to make sacrifices so the Creative Class can prosper. The prosperity of these young professionals means future prosperity for all Americans.<br /><br />So get used to gentrification. It's gratifying to see what gentrification has done to improve formerly middle class neighborhoods here in Washington D.C. Formerly decrepit neighborhoods are now vibrant with a wide variety of restaurants and health clubs and spas.<br /><br />Nearby, in Northern Virginia, my fellow Democrats have made great strides in transforming poor communities into prosperous communities. The key is removing the struggling middle class and recent immigrants to outlying suburban areas where they can prosper. And, moving Creative Class young professionals to inside the beltway communities where they can enjoy a wide variety of entertainment, recreation, and sports activities, close to home.<br /><br />Only by empowering the Creative Class can we ensure all Americans will be prosperous while the United States exports millions of American jobs to the Third World and spends trillions of dollars fighting wars in the Third World."President Obamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-30830000248042293062011-07-20T12:15:18.459-04:002011-07-20T12:15:18.459-04:00Post is an increasingly worthless newspaper.
