My bro lived in Switzerland for 4 years. Beautiful. I said, "why can't America be like this?" And the answer is ghettos. Switzerland doesn't have huge ghettos.I don't believe you have supported the notion that cities aren't affected by the states in which they exist.No. You said that.Just curious:And life in these small towns proves what?While America certainly has its share of people in chronic poverty and those with vast wealth, we are an economically mobile society. There are no class or cast systems that might prevent anyone with initiative from bettering their station in life. IRS data tracking the same group of taxpayers between 1999 and 2007 showed that Americans can move from one economic group to another fairly quickly.For example, nearly 60% of taxpayers who began in the lowest income group in 1999, moved to a higher income group by 2007. Conversely, roughly 40% of taxpayers who started out in the highest income group moved to lower income groups within eight years.

Can you explain why these are the 5 worst places for upward mobility?
5 Worst Cities in America for Class Mobility
Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
Republicans like to say they do things better than us liberals but these are 3 very conservative/red/republican states.
BTW, Memphis, Atlanta and Charlotte are liberal controlled cities.
Are you now going to claim that state government has no impact on cities?
IN states where Dillon's Rule is the law, legally, yes.
Politically, no. Cities are autonomous.
Examples. Many states have GOP controlled legislatures. Yet there are urban centers controlled by democrats.....In fact this is the case in over 30 states.
Your point?
Nor do I think that is possible.
Issues of infrastructure, health care, recreational drugs, marriage, etc., can't be fully addressed by cities independently. Other issues simply aren't allowed to be addressed independently - as you point out.
So they should buy politicians?... exactly so!It's real simple people, though some of you are too locked into your dogma that you'll never except the simple truth, but here it is:
The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer because the rich continue to do the things that made them rich and the poor continue to do the things that made them poor. It's not rocket science, it's just that simple.
And, to add to that, if the poor would begin doing the things that the rich do to make themselves rich, they, too, can climb the financial ladder.

If you are poor in america you will remain poor. If you are rich, you will get richer. It has always been this way. It matters not the work ethic, etc. That's the big lie NO politician will ever come out and say......america you ain't so great.
there are plenty of ways to attend collegePeople make more money as their career progresses. If you worked a job for 8 years and weren't making more money you should probably change careers.
Or have a college or craft school affordable enough to go into a better job. Not that America allows to much of that.
go part time and work full time
join the national guard and get in state tuition free
go to a community or state college the first 2 years then transfer to a better school
etc etc
Yep. But only a few select can make it. There isn't enough room for many. Econ 101.
supply side economics simply bails out the rich who are deemed too big to fail; and then trickles down. the right wing complains about the trickle part for the poor, not the supply side for the rich.It's real simple people, though some of you are too locked into your dogma that you'll never except the simple truth, but here it is:

Donald J. Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years, records obtained by The New York Times show.--http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html
