The North will fall

The Economic Civil War is a provocative article which proposes a radical redistribution of government services designed to bring the South up to par with the rest of the country in order to keep local and state governments there from continuing to drag the rest of American labor down to its own level. Here's a taste:

with the help of Nissan, Toyota, and BMW, the South is trying to replace Detroit as the center of U.S. automobile production, using low wages, anti-union laws, and low taxes to benefit from the outsourcing of industry from societies more advanced than the South, like Japan and Germany. The economic Axis is collaborating with the neo-Confederates against their common opponent -- the American Union.

If you're a Republican in the South you will become very angry at the premise contained within those two pages. If you're a Northerner you'll probably start nodding your head by the second paragraph.
