BRILLIANCE




10 Poorest Cities in America (How did it happen?)
City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level
1. Detroit , MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%

7. El Paso , TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%

(Now, watch closely.. at no time will the fingers leave the hands...) What do these top ten cities (over 250,000 pop.) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI - (1st on poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961
Buffalo, NY - (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954
Cincinnati, OH - (3rd) not since 1984

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."

~ Abraham Lincoln


"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him had better take a much closer look at the American Indian." ~ Henry Ford

Pretty sure both currently have a Republican mayor.
The fact that the elections are non-partisan doesn't mean that the candidates are not Rep/Dem.

El Paso. What a shithole. They deserve what they get.

Your list relating to Buffalo, NY is wrong, it claims last Republican Mayor in 1954 and is wrong. The last was
Chester A. Kowal Republican January 1, 1962 December 31, 1965

This is an amazing quote but it wasn't said by Lincoln. It was said by Rev. William J. H. Boetcker in the early 1900's.

Since I'm a male I'm a Ken not a Karen.

Also the Republican party abandoned the city. The don't support financial anybody who runs on the Republican line or field candidates. They consider it a waste of effort and money.
