Welcome to Democrat policy

[P@triot]

This is the result of pure, unadulterated liberal policy....

What has the Republic Party done to help our cities other than encourage business to leave?

 

[rightwinger]

The trickle down theory of our Republic Party is one of the reasons our cities are crumbling. Tax cuts to business without expecting them to contribute to infrastructure

But that is the goal of the Republic Party

Never missing an opportunity to use a tragedy to forward political agenda becomes transparently desperate and absurdly obvious very quickly.

You guys act like the world's never seen a ghost town:

Thurmond, W.Va., a coal town from the late 1800s, went from several hundred residents to seven by the year 2000.

What have they done? Ask Texas what they have done. Ask North Dakota what they have done. My God you are woefully ill-informed RW. Here, learn something factual for once:

High Tax States Are Losing Taxpayers - US News and World Report

"In the United States, no- and low-income tax states are experiencing booms, while high-income tax states are threatened with busts. This is no mere hypothesis. Fifteen years' worth of data from the Internal Revenue Service shows that net adjusted gross incomes (net AGI) move from states that levy high income taxes to those with low or no income tax. Our analysis of more than 134 million individual taxpayer records revealed that, between 1995 and 2010, more than $2 trillion dollars moved between the states. Using this unimpeachable data, we can see – down to the county level – which areas are gaining wealth and residents, and which are losing them.

This is why a state like California, with its top income tax rate of 13.3 percent, saw a loss of more than $31.7 billion over 15 years. Texas, which taxes its residents at the very agreeable rate of zero, gained more than $22 billion over that same time period."

The Dumbocrat Party has punished success and effort, literally driving businesses away. Meanwhile, the Republican Party has created a business friendly environment which rewards work and success - and hence why those states/cities are flourishing and look nothing like liberal utopia Detroit.

Yep - thanks to liberal policy. And how is it "using a tragedy" to PROVE that liberal policy ends in poverty? That's especially comical coming from a side that celebrates every time a child is shot and killed in a school....

 

[P@triot]

And yet "trickle down" cities are flourishing (which is why you can't provide any data or pictures as I have of Detroit here) while "Poverty Up" liberal policy is creating bankrupt cities and states all across the U.S.

The facts prove you're full of shit. Game. Set. Match.

 

[P@triot]

Except that "infrastructure" isn't the problem (and you know it). Those houses aren't abandoned and collapsing because of "infrastructure". Their abandoned and collapsing because liberal "Poverty Up" policy taxed businesses out of business, causing everyone to lose their jobs (and you know it).

Watching you guys flop around wildly like a fish out of water as you desperately try to explain away how 60 years of strict liberal control has ended in collapse is COMICAL!

Remind me again how many times Republicans cut taxes in Detroit? Oh that's right...

Notice how winger here says "cities" and specifically avoids Detroit? Yeah, that's because Detroit has been strictly owned and operated by Dumbocrat liberal policy for nearly 60 years and the bill has finally come due.

There were no Republicans, no tax breaks, nothing. Just pure Dumbocrat liberal "Poverty Up" policy. Crushing taxes, stifling regulations, and greedy unions demanding salaries exponentially more than the workers actual value.

Please provide a situation where a city business with high union costs, high taxes, and high regulation and legal liability for a rural or suburban location with the same cost levels? The reality is that you cannot. Business listen to the market, not to milquetoast Republicans.

Posting pics of dilapilated housing is proof that political policy caused them to be dilapidated?

In 1859 William (a.k.a. Waterman) S. Bodey discovered gold near what is now called Bodie Bluff. A mill was established in 1861 and the town began to grow. It started with about 20 miners and grew to an estimated 10,000 people by 1880!

I guess democratic policy also caused Bodey, CA?

 

[P@triot]

Just look at the results of the cold-hard data. 15 years worth of indisputable tax figures. The Dumbocrats try to claim that "tax breaks" have caused "infrastructure to crumble". Ok.....??? Then how exactly do they explain that cities and states that are lowering taxes have seen in influx of $2 trillion in tax dollars, while liberal "Poverty Up" policy cities and states have lost that $2 trillion in tax revenue?

Well, considering that Detroit has been under strict Dumbocrat control for nearly 60 years, what exactly would you blame it on? Why is it that liberals refuse to look the facts in the eyes and accept them for what they are? You'd rather see America collapse like Detroit that acknowledge your ideology is failed ideology?

Yes. Absolutely. Notice how before the rise of liberal "Poverty Up" policy (ie all variations on marxism, socialism, communism) the town flourishes and after the rise of liberal "Poverty Up" policy takes control of California, the town becomes a "ghost town"? Let me guess - it's just coincidence?

Like he said. Democrat policy.

When did Republicans encourage any business to leave their cities?
