OUR TEN POOREST CITIES

OUR TEN POOREST CITIES

Sad to hear this, but it is about time we faced the facts.

I just heard that 47% of the property owners in Detroit have not paid their property taxes. I remember when Colman Young said, "Let the white people leave, we don't need them."  Oh, the population of Detroit is only half of what it was when we lived there.

This doesn't mean that Republicans are the answer. In these cities listed below, they are certainly not the problem! 

Interesting, to say the least��

Einstein once said:
'The definition of insanity is doing the same 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."
