That involves imported capital with the objective of exporting resources; little is kept here but minimal worker’s wages. Great wealth has been taken out and we have little to show for it, but the capitol dome, which the state can’t afford to repair, and the refuse of extraction. For individuals, the way up has traditionally been to go out of state. We are so drained we can’t provide good infrastructure, and teachers are in jeopardy now. It’s get money for public use from the extractive industry or go on down.
