How can Detroit and Flint have good schools when there's no tax base to pay for it? Force people to move there? Tax the middle class of other cities and states some MORE????

You spoke the TRUTH! All schools should be funded equally, weather they are inner city or suburban!

I mean damn, this is just basic economics. If a city's population craps out and a majority of the remaining population are consumers and not producers, what does everyone think will happen to schools and services?

Duh. Hellllooooo. Yes, people support a centralized government providing services to neighborhoods where the tax base is inadequate. Get a pencil and write it down. Not everybody thinks like you do.

I guess you would be fine with your kids attending a school like this:

Anderson is one of the fairest and best moderators in the business. He doesn't play favorites, unlike the people over at FOX.

I would never live in a hellhole like Detroit, or any other broken used-up city like it.

Detroit is a city that has been mismanaged by politicians for DECADES.

I'll let you Google which party those pols have belonged to........

There's a reason people move away from dysfunctional cities.
