The point of an income-divided analysis for left-wing organizers,
though, is not to see if a given state is more to the left or right
of the national average but to identify the main targets for
organizing in the state and work the hardest to enlist their active
participation in political projects for which they are organizing.
In the case of leftists working in Kansas, the target should be
unquestionably the poorest.
