The government is the U.S. largest employer. The U.S. taxes are high.
So for the model for Utopia needs no demonstration. It has been set.

I can say that it can be done even without changing its demographic makeup. It's quite possible when people see that the left's way doesn't work, and it hasn't in the Motor City. The labeling just needs to stop. If the community can just birth in themselves the idea that things can be different and "Let's try things a different way", then they can gradually see positive changes where they live. Such will require a heart change and a perspective change, not to mention hard (and smart) work, and when they see that the people can do things for each other that the government can't do, then they'll see a renaissance like none they've ever known.

What are any examples of conservative governments revitalizing a city with a completely decimated industrial base? This goes far beyond left/right, but its pretty sick how some will take pleasure in such a situation in order to make petty political points.

The sad part is most of these people claim to love their dog...... Then to go around stealing dogs and forcing them into a end of their life hell is beyond what normal humans do.

Why work hard when a winning dog could bring you $100-$100,000. These people don't care how many dogs die and working hard/holding a real job is not in their DNA.

Holding people down and showing them only welfare is the way to make a living, comes from what party?
