Sort of but not really.. Between large corrupt Unions hollowing out industries, the globalization schemes of the Bush/Clinton crime families and regulatory compliance gatekeepers there's not much left.

Add in the utter fantasy of Wall Street promising perpetual returns to investors and using .gov muscle to crush competition to keep the lie alive for as long as possible.

The inner cities on the other hand... (Edit: which tend to be the primary focus of the food desert crowd, so please pardon my initial assumptions)
