Those Democrats.
I really want to believe that they mean well, but things just tend to fall apart on their watch.
For instance, look at the major cities that have been under Democrat rule for years.
Every liberal everywhere should take a good look at the enclosed chart and tell us if there is any way at all that they can explain it.
Unfortunately, liberalism continues to be an abject failure for people from all walks of life.
This ideology keeps people enslaved to a cycle of poverty, makes you focused on government entitlements, and it just makes people poorer while government leaders live an elite status.
Like an elaborate Ponzi scheme with labyrinthine red tape and government laws, the liberal ideology continues to craft increasingly poor people who must rely on their handouts.
The information presented in the chart will illustrate that not only have Democrat-led cities such as Detroit and Memphis struggled with violent crime statistics, but many other cities have also struggled.
The one common denominator among all these cities in the chart? They are all led by Democrats!
Either way, the poverty and violent crime rates in some of these cities are presented in a way (top 5 format) that even liberals can understand:
It isn’t too far of a stretch to surmise that many of the Democrat mayors were elected to their offices with the typical liberal strategy: promises of handouts and entitlements to all city residents.
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results, but many career politicians would be out of a job if their towns started thriving again under a Republican!
One city that didn’t make the top 5 on that list but has developed a reputation for violence would have to be Chicago. One website reports the following:
Chicago’s crime rate is immensely higher than the national average for not just a large city but also for all cities when you at the statistics from a proportional rate.
For instance, Chicago currently has a rate of 39 crimes per 1,000 residents and Chicago residents have a one in 25 chance of being a victim of a violent crime or a property crime.
This is because the rates for violent crime in Chicago are still among the highest in the nation.
Crimes such as non-negligent manslaughter, aggravated assault, armed robbery, rape, and murder.
The Neighborhood Scout website analyzed this data and determined that Chicago residents have a one in 110 chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes.
As a Chicago resident, your chances of becoming a victim of property crimes such as larceny, arson, motor vehicle theft, or burglary is just one in 33.
Indeed, Chicago has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle theft in the country.
By the way, you guessed it: Chicago is also a locality that has had Democratic leadership for decades now.
The elephant in the room is this: when in the world are liberals going to admit that their policies just do not work and more importantly, when will they hold Democrats accountable and be open to change?
