Fail. Rightwing propaganda.
NYC, like the USA, is run by and for big corporate money. Deblasio is window dressing for people dumb enough to believe that one stupid progressive mayor can return the city of Wall Street to the 99%.
America isn't a failed socialist state, it's a failed capitalist state. Case in point, the housing meltdown where we bailed out the wealthy Wall Street banks but foreclosed on the middle class home owners. This country is owned by the private sector which has fully co-opted the centralizing power of government.
NYC and the Nation are run by and for the folks wealthy enough to fund elections and hire lobbyists. Deblasio can't and won't change a ******* thing. Like most liberals, he will be given a very small sandbox to play in. He will do things like add more garbage cans to Times Square in order to curb littering ... as the lemmings cheer ... while the Wall Street crowd looks down from their penthouses on all the liberal Lilliputians who believe that recycling can save a city that will always be run by and for the wealthy.
Sorry son, but your Marxist scare stories don't compute with how power actually works in the city of Wall Street.
"America isn't a failed socialist state, it's a failed capitalist state. Case in point, the housing meltdown...."
What a dope.
1. Democrat FDR shredded the Constitution....ignoring article I, section 8, the enumerated powers.
He created GSE's Fannie and Freddie to do something the Constitution didn't authorize: meddle in housing.
2. Democrat Carter....the CRA, constraining banking policy
3. Democrat Clinton....strengthened the CRA
Under Clinton, HUD threatened banks, again, to give unrequited loans.
Henchmen: Democrats Cisneros and Cuomo.
4. Democrats Frank and Dodd barred any governmental discipline in this area.
That's the CliffNotes version.
I don't believe you can handle the details.
That look like capitalism to you??
