Liberals make great cities!

[John Connor]

As Sunday drew to a close in Chicago, the Labor Day weekend so far has seen a high toll of dead and wounded with six killed and 27 wounded between Friday and Sunday.The murders came fast on Friday with three killed between 8PM and midnight on the first day of the long Labor Day weekend. Including the three killed there were 13 shootings in the Windy City on the hot night of September 4. By comparison, Saturday–another steamy day–seemed mild with only nine shootings and no deaths. However, Saturday also saw the discovery of a toddler’s head and other body parts floating in the lagoon in Garfield Park, bringing to the day at least one death of thus far undetermined cause. But Sunday came roaring back, though, with three more killed and another eight shot.

Notice a pattern here between Baltimore and Detroit?

I imagine the minimum wage on a low income area like the inner cities being similar to American Samoa and Puerto Rico where young people are unable to find work?

More to do with it than minimum wage.

Yeah, there's also no guns in American Samoa.

You just revel in news like this, don'tcha? For some twisted reason it makes you happier than a pig in shit. So happy that you just have to rush out and crow about it, like some rooster happy to see the morning sun. Someone who was a bit self-aware might ask themselves why this is.

I'm sure that question will never cross your mind.

 

[flexy]

Ah...so "the liberals" are responsible for Gang shootings in Chicago and the downfall of Detroit? I see...

 

[MongGrel]

Was my first thought.

WTF does "Liberal" have to do with it.

But he always does it.

I'd imagine Gangs that sell drugs are more like Capitalists.

:sneaky:

 

[sandorski]

Checkout even more Liberal cities, like London England or Toronto.

 

[Indus]

Or Vancouver.. I lived there for a while.

Did I mention they had a riot when the Canucks lost the Finals to the Rangers and the Bruins?

 

[John Connor]

and the downfall of detroit? I see...

lmfao!

 

[John Connor]

Shitcago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.

Stop and frisk mother fucker! Anyone caught with an illegal gun and it's mandatory 5 years. That would take care of that gang problem right quick.

Reagan once said, "all great change begins at the dinner table." That's problem number one in America today.

[Newell Steamer]

Chicago needs to get all NYPD, it works.

Yet, I am sure the OP would bitch and moan about the oppressiveness of the Gubnament. So,... meh.

 

[debian0001]

I think it has to do more with the trickle down economics the rightwing keeps touting.

What about every single other big liberal city? You named 2 of like 50.

 

[soulcougher73]

LOL... And coffee on he keyboard in the morning.

What a maroon.

Or Melbourne. And there are plenty of both nice and shitty cities run by either side of the political spectrum, so there has to be something else in place why a city would be one or the other. If you come up with the causal factor be sure to let us know.

Reagan's tax cuts resulted in a strong recovery from a severe double-dip recession and initiated the Great Moderation.

Kennedy's tax cuts where instrumental in growing our economy as well.

This "trickle down" meme is getting old.

 

[K1052]

It would seem the OP doesn't get out much.

Can you provide us with empirical evidence to show that Reagan's tax cuts caused the strong recovery, as opposed to massive monetary easing by the Federal Reserve?

Same goes for his tax cuts initiating the great moderation. Any evidence?

There were a wide range of factors involved. But, why do you not question Kennedy's record on this point?

 

[fskimospy]

There were a wide range of factors involved.

That can be said about anything. That doesn't change the fact that growth during Reagan's presidency was primarily due to changes in monetary policy, not tax cuts. Why did you not mention that?

But, why do you not question Kennedy's record on this point?

The idea that Kennedy's tax cuts were the foundation for growth during that period also hasn't mentioned the impact of monetary policy during that time.

Regardless, I wanted to focus on the more recent, clearer case of the 'tax cuts lead to big growth' myth that keeps getting repeated. It comes back from conservatives every single presidential cycle, and it's tiresome.
