Who is talking about riots? I'm talking about the massive concentrations of uneducated and unemployed people, with single parent households outnumbering dual parent households; cities with massive amounts of debt, corruption, and nobody else to blame except for the Democrats who have run those urban areas into the ground, and the unions who continue to extort above market wages from a continually shrinking tax base.Ms Tree said:And most of these riots were about something really realy stupid.
Sure, there are states that are poorer, but they're also far lower population densities. You won't get the best schools or police/fire in a farming community of 2000 because the tax base is so low to begin with, nor will you from states where the GDP is largely based on agriculture. But those states have always been poor in comparison to the manufacturing states, and always will.
Here's the problem in places like Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, and Chicago:
You want to blame that on politicians? The GOP isn't the one out there promoting or enabling single parent households, and those stats certainly aren't due to a lack of access to abortion, since the abortion rates by race are just as high.Census Bureau 2012 said:Black children (55 percent) and Hispanic children (31 percent) were more likely to live with one parent than non-Hispanic White children (21 percent) or Asian children (13 percent).6
It's about the culture, stupid. Not political labels.
Look at who focuses on family, faith and values, and that's where you'll see lower crime rates, higher high school graduation rates, and less of a need to seek out welfare.
