Top Ten Poorest Cities --- and Why!

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to
act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906 – 1945
I'm glad the Progressives love the Poor People, What is it they don't
get?

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

And... Mr. Obama, you are no Abe Lincoln!
Socialism doesn't work!
