OC has NO responsibility to any other part of the region when it comes to prosperity.
Prosperity is about PERSONAL [[and community) RESPONSIBILITY of those who wish to be prosperous. 99% of your successes or failures are due to WHAT YOU DO OR FAIL TO DO, not what others do.
The people in OC learned that lesson, accepted it and they are where they are because of it.
Dimocrats [[i.e. domestic enemies of the US and all it stands for) try to foster this "blame" attitude and advise people to blame OTHERS for their failures to make right choices, encourage the harboring of resentment and bitterness of/at others who did make correct choices.
What does this lead to: Armies of people who allow things like this:

Net result - 20-30mm people dead in the USSR in the 20th century and probably a total of between 100mm and 120mm total dead in the same time period when you look at Mao and Pol Pot and other marxist regimes.
The Dimms were always enamoured of communism/socialism and after the fall of the USSR, they rebranded it. Its now called multiculturalism, identity politics and "intersectionality".
OC got it right - maybe when people drop their bitter, nihilistic delusions and shoulder their responsibility for their own successes and failures, then maybe we can all be like OC.
Just sayin .....
