One of the biggest drains on resources, is the bureaucracies built up by the left since the days of Lyndon Baines Johnson and his so-called "Great Society".

Most inner-cities have not had a GOP mayor since those days; most cities are left-wing political machines; most inner-city neighborhoods are no-go zones and cesspools of drugs and violence.

It is time to demand reparations from the left, including confiscation of all their families' personal wealth.
