If you live in Detroit and work for a living, you are trying to get to Southfield or Redford, maybe Westland.

The people who are happy to stay are welfare recipients who don't care about where their kids go to school and drug dealers.

Gradually greatly reduce services, one neighborhood at a time. When pop shrinks under 250k, start offering buyouts. Where not accepted, use eminent domain to seize property.

If you really like Detroit- vote Democrat. You will deliver many more cities to the same fate.

If you want America to prosper, vote anything BUT democrat. Look at the most prosperous cities in the USA- NONE of them are controlled by democrats.

Democrats= Poverty= More Democrats

Free, well to do people do not need democrats. Thus the goal of the democrat party is to create more dependent, poor people.

If you want your city to look like Detroit= vote Democrat

You don't know what you're talking about it.

I love how the media is framing this story. The say one million people left but never say why they left. It's as if one million people were picked up by space ships.

Tax revenue from the auto business, tax revenue from the boom that was Mo-Town.

Where did it go?

Generous retirement packages for municipal employees, who took the money and ran. Multiple cases of political scandal and theft.

It's my belief that when you, as an employee demand big pensions and health care retirement plans, you MUST continue living in that city post retirement. IF you choose to leave the city, you lose 1/2 of your benefits.

Those very same people who demanded these benefits at the cost to the taxpayer move to a low tax state the second they retire.

When you place demands on the taxpayer for Cadillac benefits, then move away and take that money with you, the tax base shrinks.

Make no excuses.....liberal policies killed Detroit.

Maybe one day the liberals will learn that greedy middle class Americans are destroying this country.

Business brings tax revenue. Lower the tax burden on business and an economy will thrive.

To lefties, that doesn't sound "fair".

How "fair" is being unemployed?
