Isn't that what republicans have been fighting for?? Why is not the whole US considered a promise zone and use this same strategy to encourgage job growth across the whole nation? Oh wait, the liberals would have to agree that the capitalist free market is the best way to stimulate job growth. They would have to agree that encouraging the wealthy to invest in the economy does "trickle down" and create jobs. They would have to admit that being wealthy and successful is not greedy or evil and does not mean you are heartless. They would have to admit that countries with capitalist free markets have proven through out history to offer the most economic success and opportunity to it's citizens.

I wish wealthy business owners would pay better wages to their employees, although I dont think it should be mandated. I have a cousin that owns a successful business and will retire with lots of land and millions in the bank and he still pays his employes a great living wage. His secretaries are high school graduates and he pays for them to take college courses with an hourly pay in the $22-$25 range and his drivers make $60-$80k a year and everyone is happy pumping money into the system.
