This guy reminds me of those elitist snobs with weird hair from the capital in the Hunger Games movie. All the wealth of the nation flows from the vast districts where the "lesser people" live into the capital where the "essential" people live. So all that coal from West Virginia flows into the capital. All that lumber, metals, resources, food, vast amounts of different products and services from the districts, all flowing into the capital. It then get's recalculated as wealth produced by the capital.
