City problems are due to really incompetent people running them be they
Republican or Democrat. They've done stupid things like offer
unsustainable pension plans to attract new employees. I still think
those were sold to them because Wall Street wanted to gamble with that
money. We've allowed these people to run things because the public is
generally apathetic and a lot of city elections are confusing and corrupt.

Reagan didn't life all boats either and neither did the Bushes so it's
not just the Democrats fault.

thing over and over again and expecting different results.'
*
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats....... Yet they are
still POOR.*
* You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
* You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
* You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
* You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
* You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class
hatred.
* You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's
initiative and independence.
* You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what
they could and should do for themselves.
