Government Motors Is Alive And Detroit Is DeadDo you know why there is no fish in the pond in cities. Because liberals took over the cities, overpromised FREE stuff, while taxing those who worked, and soon those fishermen moved away to suburbia. Take a look at the Motor City Detroit, the most prosperous city after WWII. Unions public and private worked hand in hand with the liberal political hacks, and after 60 years, no more fish. The only ones left were those too poor to move away, but hey, everyone there in Detroit were equal. Equally poor and equally miserable. That is liberalism in a nutshell.The difference between a liberal and a conservativeWe had wobble legs promising everyone everything and creating the mindset that it's the government's job to take care of you if something bad happens in your life. Freeloaders like that kind of thing and will vote for it.
What's the alternative your side offers? "I've got mine, fuck you?"
Except your guys can't say that openly, because no one would vote for that.
Which is why your side quietly supports middle class entitlements like Medicare and Social Security and Unemployment while denouncing "Welfare Queens". (When in fact, those middle class benefit make up far more of what government spends.)
Then to totally distract stupid people like you from noticing your good paying job is going to China or being replaced by a machine, they talk about guns or abortions or gays or the War on Christmas to play on your racial, religious or sexual fears.
NOw, since you have been totally conditioned not to notice this, please proceed with an angry rant about how you will shoot anyone who tries to take your guns.
Liberals would give a fish to a starving man so then that man must come back the next day begging for more. That is liberal compassion.
Conservatives would rather teach that starving man to fish so that man could be reliant on himself and not have to go begging for more. That is conservatism.
Have you notice under the 7 years of Obamanomics , Obamavilles popping up everywhere?

Interesting point
But what happens when there are no more fish in the pond? That is what has happened in many of our urban areas. You can fish all day but there are still no jobs to be had.
In that case, we need the government to step in, provide fish, restock the pond or assist people in learning new skills or moving to an area with more fish.
That is the purpose of a modern government

Actually it was corporate America who used up our cities and moved on to greener pastures
Union workers were not getting rich in Detroit. They lived in the same houses and same neighborhoods they had lived in for generations
It was the corporate executives that were getting rich, not the workers
It was their decisions that doomed the auto industry...not the workers who only wanted to maintain their standard of living
You know, union workers didn't get rich, but they were better off than the poor that kept voting in the liberal political hacks in office who were doing pretty well also. But those union executives DID get rich by siphoning off union Dues from the members and put much of that money into those same political hacks. But where did the money to the government unions(NEA and NFTA) eventually go? People were tired of being taxes so much, they got up and went to another state, leaving behind a city that crime escalated, shops closed, and drugs went rampant. If you put all the liberals on the west and the conservatives on the east with a wall between them, soon the west would look like East Germany and those people would be climbing over the wall like illegals do at our southern border, wanting to get the goodness that conservatives create.Bankruptcy: The fundamental transformation of Detroit is complete, as socialism's theme park succumbs to government run amok, a reminder that government isn't the solution to our problems but their cause.
Unfortunately you cannot get past the thick skull of a liberal, they have been brainwashed since their birth that they suck, so everyone else must suck also.
