Yes, indeed, the petroleum capital of the USA have poor people and plenty of them!

The West Virginia political myth about coal as a saint to employ the people of West Virginia is a lie, too. Look though the West Virginia mountains and count the number of wealthy lining the scenic views. The fact of the matter is coal mining is so automated there are far, far fewer with a pay check than ever before.

Believe me, it was not difficult backing the US EPA and watch coal fired plants disappear from the American landscape. McConnell is a liar as well. Forbid my criticism should not be bi-partisan. I guarantee you the mine owners are not out there digging with pics either.
