US Poverty Stats and Lots of Salt

[ECO]

Politics aside this is interesting.......not sure if it is true or not.

Interesting....... Poverty in Our Cities

2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland , OH 27.0%

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'


It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still POOR

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln

I dunno, if I get bored this week I'll try to dig up the ten richest cities to see who runs them. It would be sort of funny of they were lead by democrats as well.

That would be interesting. Philadelphia "SUCKS" the stats are soooooo correct!
There are a lot of poverty here. Yeah, the Mayor is a Democrat.

I suppose I stand guilty as accused, Rose. However, I was channel surfing one night recently and MSNBC's Keith Olberman was on, so I decided to leave him on, to have an open mind and give equal time to the Left's viewpoint, if you will. After less than 5 minutes of listening to that intolerant liver-lipped buffoon's sophomoric drivel, I had to switch channels before I put my foot through the TV screen!

It's also telling that the August 2009 prime time ratings listed MSNBC below the Toon network.

[Wahoo]

And don't get me started on Rachel Maddow. What a piece of work he/she is!!!
