Enabler is a perfect word to describe libturds. They pimp the poor by giving them handouts, welfare, food stamps, free cell phones, free everything in exchange for the Democrat vote.
And all those federal dollars coming in support the whole welfare industrial complex, which employs a lot of people. And it won't be ending.
Is anyone surprised? NY's liberal base has zero love for the working class/middle class. Bloomberg was pro immigrant, pro buisness, pro charter schools, all of which make a genuine difference. Here's hoping another reasonable conservative runs for mayor in 2017.

You spelled a word wrong: it's the whole WARFARE industrial complex.
Welfare is just a pittance compared to that spent on warfare, jokingly called "defense."
I forgot to add, Obama also has a very low effective tax rate. He must be an evil rich guy too.
You sure got the last part right, he is rich and evil... but no, he is in as high as the brackets go. His income is all "earned " income for IRS purposes. He is actually in a much higher tax bracket that Mitt Romney, or John McCain who have orders of magnitude more wealth and earnings because of immensely rich heiress wives whose annual millions comes in as low taxed "investment income" and "capital gains."
Of course all three pay no social security tax on the great bulk of their earnings. That full rate is only paid by Joe Median and low paid workers.
De Blahsio is setting aside "affordable housing" in the buildings that are about to go up on the Brooklyn waterfront. This is one of the most valuable sites in New York City, not exactly an appropriate place to building affordable housing. So tens of thousands of people will apply for the units, and 40 will win the lottery, whether they deserve it or not.
Have a moderate income but come from an extraordinarily wealthy family? No problem, you win the lottery.
But I guess that's 40 more units to his idiotic and unattainable goal of creating whatever the number of units is of affordable housing.

What working class person actually gave a hoot about charter schools? I'd never met one poor person who talked to me about it . And please, let's just go out and call working class people poor.
Charter schools are merely the thin end of the wedge to privatize the public schools while still having the public pay for them. This has been the dream of the Right since the first day the public school system was devised. Next step will be RELIGIOUS schools supported by the taxpayer, First Amendment be damned...and 5 braying Nazi jackasses on the Supreme Court will agree.

Any developer who wants to build a stupendous apartment complex on his own land and restrict ownership to those who can rent for $10-$20,000 per month is free to do so.
He is required to use his own, and his bank's money to fulfill his dream.
But when he comes begging the taxpayer for money, he must comply with rules and standards or walk away. They ALL take the taxpayers money, a LOT of taxpayer money, and then ***** about having to keep 20% of their apartments affordable.
The minute a developer didn't get far more than he is required to give is the minute the building plan is scrapped.
So I say to developers: Build whatever or wherever you want, but don't ask ME to contribute even a penny to your costs.
