the $$ flows form the top when it comes to poverty. etc. most of crime is due to poverty and lack of education and opportunity-- yet cities can only run themselves to a point- a city school is mandated by fed -county -bla bla its all intertwined. In FL tricky Ricky goes to get jobs as in Amazon- it opens in Riverview, FL-- should had gone to Jacksonville. Who decided that? the city?
Right, in case you don't know, the liberals in the cities are in control how to distribute the money.
There is really no argument. Most of these cities are also broke.
Dems will just try to justify by deflecting to another argument. Red States like TX that have depressed cities are mostly minority or a huge population of Illegals from our South.
" Most of these cities are also broke." because they drove the taxpaying people and businesses out of town.
As more "poor" move in, crime goes up, people do NOT wan to live there so they move out.
With a smaller tax paying base, cities raise taxes on those left.
Soon THEY move out.
Business want workers. Many will NOT drive back in the city they just moved out of.
Companies follow the work force.
They are broken into, their trucks which used to park at the business are broken into.
How would we know about any other party when they have all been run into the ground by Democrats? Forget the massive democratic malaise, corruption of one party rule, the crime etc , when you even look at so called wealthy cities in America they are pathetic to the nice cities in Asia and Europe .
In many of the nicer parts of Asia and Europe, very clean streets and amazingly clean and efficient mass transit, very low crime, etc. Even the rich cities like Manhattan San francisco DC and Seattle with insane rents the mass transit is usually awful and dirty, tent cities tons of homeless, many of them mentally ill and aggressive. Every time I went out in downtown seattle I had a homeless person approach and alot of the panhandling is aggressive
This is the most expensive city in America, san francisco and its terrible, this great new app that helps you avoid homeless peoples poop in san fran
Last year Michael Moore tweeted, “Flint has voted for Dems for 84 straight yrs” and wanted to know, “What did it get us?”
Reason magazine’s Robby Soave reminds us, who have "robbed city residents blind to pad the pockets of public sector unions." They’ve also been in charge as Flint has become one the country’s poorest cities (the second poorest, says the Census Bureau, for a city of its size), and a haven for criminals
Fbis newest release of americas most violent cites. the common denominator? Democratic rule for over 50 years since the civil rights movement
St. Louis has been electing Democratic mayors since 1949.
2. Detroit
Detroit last elected a Republican mayor in 1957when it had a median income on par with Manhattan , today its coming out of bankruptcy . It is the poorest big city in the nation, with almost 40% of the population living below the poverty line.
Detroit is also a pit of political corruption. Just in recent years, one mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, was convicted of corruption and sent to federal prison for 28 years,
Other places include Birmingham,Baltimore Oakland etc
Camden has not had a Republican mayor since 1936
Buffalo, NY hasn’t elected republican mayorsince 1954;
Cleveland, OH … since 1989;
Milwaukee, WI since 1908;
Philadelphia, PA since 1952;
Newark, NJ since 1907.
This was back in 2014 but nothing has changed much
The cities with populations over 200,000 ranked as the most dangerous are:
Detroit, MI - Mayor Mike Duggan - DEMOCRAT
Oakland, CA - Mayor Jean Quan - DEMOCRAT
Memphis, TN - Mayor A C Wharton - DEMOCRAT
St. Louis, MO - Mayor Francis G. Slay - DEMOCRAT
Cleveland, OH - Mayor Frank G. Jackson - DEMOCRAT
Baltimore, MD - Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake - DEMOCRAT
Milwaukee, WI - Mayor Tom Barrett - DEMOCRAT
Birmingham, AL - Mayor William A. Bell - DEMOCRAT
Newark, NJ - Mayor Ras Baraka - DEMOCRAT
Kansas City, MO - Mayor Sly James - Independent (but probably a DEMOCRAT)
There is another demographic in play here, but if I point it out, I will be labeled a racist white guy.
53% of all murders and 69% of all violent crime..... From only 13% of the population and the places listed are breeding grounds for that never increasing 13%, because they kill each other at an alarming rate.
He knows the Republicans are right, but he makes so much money off the emotions of the left.
True good point. Libs love to eat up those "Stupid White Men" books he puts out . It feeds into their white privileged/white guilt fetish.
He's a great marketer and promoter and no doubt a very wealthy man.
It looks like his net worth is around $50million pushing his books and movies.
He's definitely benefited nicely from our capitalistic system that the left dreams about tearing down.
Republicans in Congress and states have starved mass transit of funds in favor of building more highways.
Thats not true for cities, alot of people dont like mass transit in america because its full of thugs and homeless, at least it was in parts of the cities I have lived in. College towns and some areas the trains and buses are nicer but no American city compares to the cleanliness, efficiency, and modern mass transit in first world Asia and places like Germany ,Switzerland etc. Asian futuristic places like Japan,Singapore,Seoul have amazing mass transit and will never be tolerant of aggressive homeless anti social behavior, illegal immigrants and crime like so many of our mediocre progressive cities are
Asia is much more right wing on stuff like crime, illegal immigration,aggressive homeless behavior and anti social stuff than "progressive" places like San Francisco ,LA ,Seattle ,DC ,NYC etc

Why did the democrats let them leave and which candidate besides trump or sanders is even talking about all these companies moving offshore. Bill clinton gave us Nafta and tons of bad trade deals

Nope, NAFTA was negotiated by Bush I.
Quote:
NAFTA was negotiated by the administrations of U.S. Pres. George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and Mexican Pres. Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Preliminary agreement on the pact was reached in August 1992, and it was signed by the three leaders on December 17.
And just try to get this Congress to walk back away from the TPP or any other deal which is good for big business.
Get your facts straight and stop spreading false propaganda.
