What does Baltimore have in common with these 10 cities???

[orogenicman]

What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate have in common with Baltimore?


DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP!

Contrary to the emotional blackmail some leftists are attempting to peddle, Baltimore is not America’s problem or shame. That failed city is solely and completely a Democrat problem.
Like many failed cities, Detroit comes to mind, and every city besieged recently by rioting,
Democrats and their union pals have had carte blanche to inflict their ideas and policies on Baltimore since 1967, the last time there was a Republican Mayor.

In 2012, after four years of his own failed policies, President Obama won a whopping 87.4% of the Baltimore City vote. Democrats run the city of Baltimore, the unions, the schools, and, yes, the police force.


Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected
a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… since 1984;

Cleveland, OH (4th)… since 1989;

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor;

St. Louis, MO (6th)…. since 1949;

El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;

Milwaukee, WI (8th)… since 1908;

Philadelphia, PA (9th)… since 1952;

Newark, NJ (10th)… since 1907.

Democrats Run America s Ten Poorest Cities - Eagle Rising

And who keeps hollering for more money for the "poor"???

Louisville, Kentucky hasn't had a Republican mayor in like forever, and yet it has had relatively few of the major problems these other cities have had. But since you want try to lay blame, the poorest states are almost all run by Republicans, and almost all in the south - Louisiana being the worst despite all the oil money it brings in. gee I wonder where all that money goes? You should ask Guvna Bobby where it goes.

Why don't you deal with FACTS instead of guesses?
Yes at 49th Louisiana has 18.3% of households at Federal government poverty level...
List of U.S. states by poverty rate - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Federal Poverty Level 2014 - 2015
for a family of 4 Federal poverty level is $23,550.

THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE COST OF LIVING IN Louisiana???
The cost of living in Louisiana is approximately 16.5 percent lower than the national average.
Cost of Living in Louisiana My Move

FACTS!!! But people like you that want to make us ALL LIVE BY some cubicle dwelling elitist bureaucrat... you don't think that's an issue!

View attachment 40538

Which means that despite the low cost of living, even the poor can't afford to live there.

That makes NO sense whatsoever!
"Even the poor" means "even the rich" can't live there!
Bad choice of words.

No, my words were spot on. If you are poor and live in a state where the cost of living is VERY LOW, then yo are VERY POOR.

Plus IF you make $23,550 in Louisiana that means you can spend 16.5% MORE because the cost of living (COL) is less!

Except that because of the cost of living, employers don't have to pay you as much, to say nothing about the fact that the unemployment rate in Louisiana is well above the national average.

Riot-Plagued Baltimore Is a Catastrophe Entirely of the Democratic Party’s Own Making
by Kevin D. Williamson April 28, 2015 2:34 PM

A few weeks ago, there was an election in Ferguson, Mo., the result of which was to treble the number of African Americans on that unhappy suburb’s city council. This was greeted in some corners with optimism — now, at last, the city’s black residents would have a chance to see to securing their own interests.

This optimism flies in the face of evidence near — St. Louis — and far — Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco . . . St. Louis has not had a Republican mayor since the 1940s, and in its most recent elections for the board of aldermen there was no Republican in the majority of the contests; the city is overwhelmingly Democratic, effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department.


Baltimore has seen two Republicans sit in the mayor’s office since the 1920s — and none since the 1960s. Like St. Louis, it is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department. Philadelphia has not elected a Republican mayor since 1948.

The last Republican to be elected mayor of Detroit was congratulated on his victory by President Eisenhower. Atlanta, a city so corrupt that its public schools are organized as a criminal conspiracy against its children, last had a Republican mayor in the 19th century. Its municipal elections are officially nonpartisan, but the last Republican to run in Atlanta’s 13th congressional district did not manage to secure even 30 percent of the vote; Atlanta is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department.

Democratic-party monopolies, monopolies generally dominated by the so-called progressive wing of the party. The results have been catastrophic, and not only in poor black cities such as Baltimore and Detroit.

Money can paper over some of the defects of progressivism in rich, white cities such as Portland and San Francisco, but those are pretty awful places to be non-white and non-rich, too: Blacks make up barely 9 percent of the population in San Francisco, but they represent 40 percent of those arrested for murder, and they are arrested for drug offenses at ten times their share of the population

. Criminals make their own choices, sure, but you want to take a look at the racial disparity in educational outcomes and tell me that those low-income nine-year-olds in Wisconsin just need to buck up and bootstrap it?

There are people who should be made to answer for that: What has Martin O’Malley to say for himself? What can Ed Rendell say for himself other than that he secured a great deal of investment for the richest square mile in Philadelphia? What has Nancy Pelosi done about the radical racial divide in San Francisco?

The Democratic Mayors didn't gut our manufacturing base, idiot.

Which of the "Democratic" mayors moved automobile factories to Mexico?

Thanks to Republicans we have country that doesn't really Create Jobs, but still creates unwanted children (future jobless citizens).

Sorry, the "job-creator" myth is all GOP.

Show us where Republicans pushed policy that resulted in the highest corporate taxes in the world, unrealistic Union demands, increased government regulations and unlimited liability? For the second part, show us where all of those factors were the same levels in other countries?

When US is pushing policy at businesses that increase the fixed and variable costs that global competitors are not subject to, businesses have two choices, fold up shop or shift operations to keep their expenses equal or less than their competitors.

If Democrats realized this and pushed policies that helped businesses compete AND businesses moved jobs, then the Democrats cases against greedy businesses would hold true.

I don't bash WalMart because Walmart pays to the Federal government Income tax expense: $7.98 billion
Companies paying the most in income taxes
3,275 supercenters, Time to close Wal-Mart stores Analysts think so

PLUS ignorant uninformed people don't comprehend that ALL EMPLOYERS MATCH the EMPLOYEES Social Security and Medicare payments!
SO given the AVERAGE employee of walmart
Average worker $9.40 per hour or $20,000 per year.
Assistant store manager $47,000 per year
http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Walmart-Salaries-E715.htm

Assuming 10 assistant managers of your 300 workers that means:
Assist. Managers $ 47,000 times 10 equals $470,000
Regular workers @ $20,000 times 290 equals $5,670,080 in wages
Total wages $6,140,080.
TIMES 6.2% Walmart share of Social security and 1.45% Medicare or total of 7.6%
IN ADDITION to wages $469,716 paid additional by WALMART!
Add that to the $686,641more in income taxes you come up with over $1,156,357 per SUPER CENTER you didn't COUNT!
$686,641in employee taxes per store X 3,275 stores or over $2,248,749,275 in employee taxes.
My point is WalMart employee taxes contribute $2.2 billion to SS/Medicare PLUS $7.9 billion in taxes.
I will NEVER bash WalMart but admire them!

Contrary to the emotional blackmail some leftists are attempting to peddle, Baltimore is not America’s problem or shame. That failed city is solely and completely a Democrat problem.
Like many failed cities, Detroit comes to mind, and every city besieged recently by rioting,
Democrats and their union pals have had carte blanche to inflict their ideas and policies on Baltimore since 1967, the last time there was a Republican Mayor.

In 2012, after four years of his own failed policies, President Obama won a whopping 87.4% of the Baltimore City vote. Democrats run the city of Baltimore, the unions, the schools, and, yes, the police force.


Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected
a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… since 1984;

Cleveland, OH (4th)… since 1989;

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor;

St. Louis, MO (6th)…. since 1949;

El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;

Milwaukee, WI (8th)… since 1908;

Philadelphia, PA (9th)… since 1952;

Newark, NJ (10th)… since 1907.

Democrats Run America s Ten Poorest Cities - Eagle Rising

And who keeps hollering for more money for the "poor"???

What have Republicans offered the people in those cities?

What have the Ds offered the people in those cities?

How pathetic are Republicans when given the poor shape these cities are in, they can't offer ONE valid reason to vote Republican?

The Democratic Mayors didn't gut our manufacturing base, idiot.

Which of the "Democratic" mayors moved automobile factories to Mexico?

Thanks to Republicans we have country that doesn't really Create Jobs, but still creates unwanted children (future jobless citizens).

Sorry, the "job-creator" myth is all GOP.

Show us where Republicans pushed policy that resulted in the highest corporate taxes in the world, unrealistic Union demands, increased government regulations and unlimited liability? For the second part, show us where all of those factors were the same levels in other countries?

When US is pushing policy at businesses that increase the fixed and variable costs that global competitors are not subject to, businesses have two choices, fold up shop or shift operations to keep their expenses equal or less than their competitors.

If Democrats realized this and pushed policies that helped businesses compete AND businesses moved jobs, then the Democrats cases against greedy businesses would hold true.

And yet the Rs did nothing to stop these policies and many voted for them.

You are right!
But it was a Democrat President that signed it.
It has been the Democrat party that continually pushes to make people MORE dependent on government.
See I KNOW for a fact that MOST people would prefer to make their own decisions based on information that is NOT biased.
But as Jonathan Gruber clearly stated "Stupidity of American Voter" is what creates this Democrat continual pandering to get votes
by paying for voters!
Rather then restrict illegal immigration...Democrats encourage it!
Rather then build a more secure border Democrats seeing potential voters do whatever they can to encourage illegals ..then to vote Democrat!

That's the problem... with GOP also though they see this pandering as successful and pander to the press which is biased.
Instead of being objective professional journalists we have examples such as this as to the extreme bias of the media which in turn
influences voters...

“If you watch the nightly news, it feels like the world is falling apart,” said Obama.
Obama Media makes you think world is falling apart TheHill

WHAT A HYPOCRITE!!!

This guy is BASHING the same people that when the Editor of NewsWeek who once was asked about Bush:
"our job is to bash the president[Bush], that's what we do." Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington, February 2, 2007.He-Could-Go-All-The-Way Today Cheers Obama s Football Play

YET this same Editor of NewsWeek Thomas...who Obama NOW bashes...gushed about Obama.....
"mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."
Evan Thomas on Hardball, Newsweek s Evan Thomas Obama Is Sort of God

Along with the fact these same nightly news guys Obama NOW bashes (and by the way I agree with Obama!!!!)
1,160 (85% of the 1,353 of the Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democrats candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Obama Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs writers reporters The Daily Caller

Poor urban people vote democrat, so what? It's not like they would vote republican since the GOP likes to use them as a scapegoat and a boogyman to scare their kids into behaving.

So you condone the behavior of the "kids" in Baltimore?
Obviously you are a "kid" yourself.
Grow up. Accept some responsibility.
Besides what is so wrong with "behaving"?

OK you totally missed that point. Poor urban people vote democrat because the GOP openly despises them to the point that it verges on open racism, if you didn't get that then I can't help you.

In truth.....Democrat politicians use demagoguery against Republicans even though most Democrats are rich 1%ers that hate the poor. This is why they feel they can't get an I.D to vote because they aren't smart enough to figure out how to do it. It's why they encourage them to get an abortion, because Democrats feel there are too many poor people in the world, and all the poor do is pollute the planet.

Course they think everyone pollutes the planet.....unless they openly denounce Republicans while polluting.

Yes that's what it is and ALL they've ever done...
they can get away with it because the citizens of TODAY aren't involved as say, 30 years ago. Look at Carter. someone with the record Obama had would have been THROWN out of a second term if the people were more involved. Republicans need to get a better message but it's hard to do with these LAPDOG lamestream Medias and these left hate sites on the Internet that feeds them nothing but Garbage. the other day we were seeing riots and one site was all bent over something Michelle Bauchmann said and pushing that.... like what she said has any bearing on what is happening in OUR real world

Or CNN talking about veterans causing the riots because they're returning from Afghanistan ready to fight.
