Because money makes the world go around.

That's why New York's metro population is 20 million, as is Calcutta's, but clearly New York is 1000 times more important.

But by all means I'm not saying we shouldn't pay attention to the under $100k crowd. I'm just saying that we should be paying attention to this as well when pundits keep ringing Chicago's death knells
