TOP 10 POVERTY CITIES



This has got to be one of the greatest American tragedies. What do the top 10 cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common ?

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'



It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet are still disadvantaged.



Opinion: The disadvantaged remain disadvantaged because they are looking for a Liberal Democratic Government to give them something, when all they have to do is work for it.



(How can a person be 5th generation & disadvantaged in this country?)



"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected , and handed on to them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free". -Ronald Wilson Reagan

Great research. Get ready for the Nobel prize.

That list shows 10 major American cities we can't blame for the economic disaster attributed to Republican leadership.

[Tia Wood]

Or maybe what they all have in common is they were under a Republican President.

Not saying anything. Just showing you how easy it is to connect irrelevant details.

Oh..and all those cities have dogs. Dogs must cost too much.

It is the mayors responsibility for how a city is run. Blaming the federal government is a political tactic used by many at the local level to hide there own failures.

Or they're under a Democratic president.

Or they're under a Democratic president.

Or the majority like to wear white underwear.

Go easy there, Tia, Fab's reading skills don't include the ability to read and understand dates. He thinks it was a study of 2006 cities, and didn't understand that it was a reference to a year.

Trivia question:

What US state has the highest per capita income?

Here are some hints:

Barack Obama won the state's 10 electoral votes in 2008 with 61.9% of the vote to John McCain's 36.5%. Both of <state>'s U.S. Senators and seven of its eight Representatives in Congress are Democrats, and Democrats hold supermajorities in the state Senate and House of Delegates. The previous Governor, <deleted>, was the first Republican to be elected to that office in four decades, and after one term lost his seat to <deleted>, a Democrat.

Can you guess this highest-income state in the country?

Alabama?

[jberryhill]

Alabama?

Ummm... you are looking at an alphabetical list, not a ranked list.

Try again.

I have always found this amusing:

Low GDP -> Republican, high GDP -> Democrat (with the exception of Texas).

I think all of the cities had the same president at that time, which would remove any "president factor".

Or the majority like to wear white underwear.
