So many people cannot comprehend this. It’s beyond their ability, I guess.

Bad people move in, tear up or down everything they can get their hands on, lay about, cause violence, openly wander the streets, sometimes doing drugs and alcohol, committing crimes out in the open ....all the things that cause the tax base to flee.

10, 20, 30 years later the shithole dwellers are living in decaying homes, with decaying schools, decaying roads, and decaying water pipes- so naturally the first thing they do is get off their ass, get everyone together, and fix things! This is what people do! It’s the American way!

Just kidding. They scream some -ism until those, whose men -weren’t laying about the last 10, 20, 30 years, are forced upon threat of jail to give part of their income to pay the tab for those who never even attempt to pay for their own way.

That is the current American way in a nutshell

It certainly didn’t start out that way, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they sometimes say.
