Someone75 – Yes, it’s working for me and all my friends. Of course, all my friends are educated, and white or oriental, and mostly Pub. I live in Washington State. You?
If you live in a Blue State, it probably isn’t working for you, because they tax your a$$ off. Search for an article called Red States vs. Blue States. It’s very enlightening. Also, the worst of the big cities are run entirely by Dems, like Chicago and Detroit. Contrast that with NY, which have gone Pub with Giuliani and Bloomberg. Oh, gee, what a turnaround.
During the Bush administration, 5.5M jobs were created, and that doesn’t count the jobs filled by illegals. During this time, unemployment in MI went UP! Other Blue States did poorly, too. A great portion of the jobs went to AZ, TX, FL. Why? Taxes. Right-to-work. Fiscal responsibility.
My personal take on this is that, not coincidentally, those worst cities also have a huge urban black contingent. I can’t figure if they cause the Dems, or the Dems cause them. Regardless, since they earn less on average, they have a higher cost-to-benefit ratio. They also end up in court more, so the cost is higher yet.
To those who will charge racism, shut up. You can’t fix a problem by burying your head in the sand. Right now, black females outnumber black males in college 3:1, which means they’re often faced with staying single, supporting some guy, or marrying across racial lines. 90% of black children are born out of wedlock. 50% of black men have spent some time in jail, and 1/3 are IN jail. Something’s broken.
