Is that right?

I need it verified.

Perhaps you believe everything you read on the internet. I don't. You're entitled, and so am I.

I'm sorry I didn't think to carry a tape recorder around the adults talking about "the blacks" when I was 9?

If you can't prove it, that's OK.
Lookie lookie at all of the blue states that don't require ID at election time.

So, which?
I don't need to prove to you what I know for myself.

I lived there for twenty years and heard it many many times from white people.

Believe it or not, I don't care.

Why else would people pay real estate taxes that are frequently more than their mortgages?

Wall Street made huge profits under Bill Clinton, and he helped deregulation. Markets earned more under Obama than under any other president in modern times. Why wouldn't they vote Democrat?

BTW, have you checked out the donor numbers for both parties?

It was called "paying the price" in the circles I knew.

As in, "you had to pay the price (i.e. the insane taxes) to avoid the moolies*"

(I'm from Suffolk county, probably safely substitute schwartzes for Nassau county)

If that's your personal standard of evidence, that's fine.

If you hope to convince anyone who's not predisposed to believe hearsay, that's something else. Good luck!

Generalize much?

They really don't. The Dems shed a lot of the working class mantra. They're a yuppie party now.
