This is incorrect. It's not a coincidence urban decay dramatically increased when outsourced manufacturing jobs increased.
Flint could afford at least one fully manned shift of cops if Woodrow Stanley wouldn't have told GM to "go (*)(*)(*)(*) yourselves" when they asked for a property tax abatement for Buick City. GM closed Buick City, the city went broke when the residents that worked there lost their jobs, stopped paying city income taxes and moved away and stopped paying property taxes too. where the city really lost out was the non-resident income taxes most of the workers were paying. the city was collecting 1/2% of the factory's payroll from people that the only burden they put on public services was a 100 yard drive on surface streets to and from work. Stanley got recalled, the state took over the city's finances, and somehow, the brain dead in the north-end elected him to the county board.
Probably saved the gubmit a couple million bucks over the next 20 years, providing it was da hood killing da hood. Heck, every cloud has a silver lining ... right
if it was just that, it wouldn't be a huge loss. it's the innocent bystanders that get hit by fools trying to look cool, and soccer mom's getting capped because they were too slow getting out of the van when they get carjacked.
Well, Don, obviously, and as any good Obamanite hyperliberal will tell you, THIS IS ALL GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT! IT'S THE "GUN CULTURE"S FAULT! But it's never Comrade Obama's fault....
Um, no. Your obscene obsession with guns and your dumb, anachronistic Wild West mentality is the problem. What an 'advanced' nation America is-if you happen to turn the clock back to 1873.
Can you say that with a straight face? It really isn't just conservatives that have guns you know. Nor anachist. Less government =/= no government.
hahahahaha! You should not delay another minute - a short waiting list for a brain transplant is your only hope.
It is beyond the purview of the American psyche to entertain any intervention of their mentality on this subject.
As you can see at home and abroad, liberalism is killing our nation from within. Cities are the first to go. promises broken, lies told, children not being educated properly.
