By Einstein's definition, the majority of the population in each of those 10 cities must be insane!

This one has been around, but in this election year it is timely to at least attempt to educate people as to their past mistakes:

TEN POOREST CITIES City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level





1. Detroit , MI 32.5%

2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%

3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%

4. Cleveland , OH 27.0%

5. Miami , FL 26.9%

6. St. Louis , MO 26.8%

7. El Paso , TX 26.4%

8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%

9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%

10. Newark , NJ 24.2%






U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 American Community Survey, August 2007 What do the top ten cities

(over 250,000) with the highest Poverty rate all have in common?








Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961.






Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1954.






Cincinnati, OH (3rd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984.






Cleveland, OH (4th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989.






Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor.






St. Louis, MO (6th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949.






El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor.






Milwaukee, WI (8th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908.






Philadelphia, PA (9th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952.






Newark, NJ (10th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1907.






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! And the Democrats love them! You can't help the poor by
destroying the rich. You can't strengthen the weak by weakening the
strong.






You can't lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You can't further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.[Yet Barack Obama is certainly trying!]






Abraham Lincoln said: "You can't build character and courage by
taking away people's initiative and independence. You can't help people
permanently by doing for them what they could, and should, do for
themselves."






And you, President Obama, are no Abe Lincoln!!

    Backin the day most of these cities were major manufacturing hubs as well as shiping and or rail road transporting goods around the country.Now the libtards have destroyed them,thanks to nafta and the epa and bad policies.The free hand out with welfare the fake war on drugs and section 8 housing,led to higher taxes and alot of people left.You do fine for a while,but when you run out of other peoples money to spend,you have to make it up some where.Noone wants to live in these cities because of high taxes and low paying jobs,the unions also had alot to do with the demise of these cities as well.

    You are right - Democrats and their union supporters did them in - the autoworkers' unions priced themselves out of jobs as all new manufacturing plants in the U.S. were opened in the South, mostly in right-to-work states.

    I don't understand why anyone would be shocked by this. Democrats are a cross between vampires and pushers. They thrive by making people dependent on them. Once thus enslaved, the poor, huddled masses are 'milked' for votes every two years or so. The really sad part is that conservatives blame the poor for this when they're the Democrats' biggest victims (apart from taxpayers, of course).

    Show you're REALLY against drugs. "Just say no" to the government fix.

    Just a small correction, Ken. George Voinovich, Republican, was mayor of Cleveland from 1980 through 1989. At this time, we are 22 years and 5 months down the Democrat Socialist pike for Cleveland. These Democrat Socialists are fairly efficient destroyers. Also, the term of office for a Cleveland mayor has been 4 years since a 1981 law changed it from 2 years, so Voinovich was not elected in 1989.

    Not at all. Progressives "ideas" aren't progressive at all, they go back to Rousseau's time in 18th century and have never produced a viable economy because they go against human nature and make individuals indentured servants to the "State."

    Another demonstration that the left cannot put the puzzle pieces together properly.

    Additionally, the same stupid idiots on this site supporting Obie, and not knowing what their talking about, only listening to leftist talking points, and don't consider what they see happening in front of their faces. Total denial.

    Not to mention the people who used to live in them. Their lives destroyed. Damn this makes me mad. Why isn't this bigger news? Why do we have to see this on youtube from Steven Crowder??

    In the late 1980s to the early '90s I represented both GMC and Chrysler, defending lawsuits in San Diego County, so I had occasion to visit Detroit quite often. The offices I visited GM's lawyers and engineers were away from the center of town and not too bad. However, Chrysler's facilities were near downtown, and the neighborhood surrounding the complex looked like it had been involved in door-to-door warfare, with burned out houses on nearly every block and run-down ramshackle homes with dead shrubbery and plants. Chrysler's complex looked like a military installation, with an 8 foot hurricane fence topped by barbed wire! We always stayed in a hotel in the suburbs, never venturing to the downtown area of Detroit.

    I don't know much about any of those cities, but in all fairness, the poor seem to migrate to cities, and we know many of those people depend upon entitlrments and are
    a part of the Democrat voting base. aaaaathat said, I do want to talk about two
    of the Democratic mayors in two of those cities, Philidelphia and Newark, with whom I
    am very impressed.

    #10. Newark , NJ 24.2% ... Mayor Cory Booker



    #9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1% Mayor




    When one sees some of the talent out there in the country of some Black politicians,
    it is too bad we have already rlrcted the firsy Black presidrnt..... I only
    hope his incompetence hasn't spoiled for others like Lt Col Allen West and the
    afore mentioned gentlemen.
