Hey Buck...so you're gonna travel thousands of miles and opt to pay sales tax instead of supporting our home state of oregon?
i suppose that will help those red states, since so many of them are such heavy welfare states and can use all the support they can get.
Not his fault Detroit is mostly black.no racial undertones there.
Aside from all the slander, I for one think it is absolutely horrible on every fucking level that an American city has to declare it is broke.
Just a few short generations ago, it would have not been allowed to happen, there would have been something done, but alas, we have become such a greedy, manipulated, unethical, immoral, jaded and above all else, complacent society and seem to be okay with it.
Sad days are ahead for sure. I am hitting the big 50 this year and I feel that in just a couple of more generations they will see the collapse of this Nation and things will be as they are no more.
I sure as hell hope I am wrong, but if it does come to pass, I will have already become a regular at the great smoke out in the sky.
Peace

thanks for illustrating my point, smarty.Not his fault Detroit is mostly black.
As of the 2010 Census, the racial composition of the city was:
From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit
- 82.7% Black or African American;
- 10.6% White (7.8% non-Hispanic whites);
- 3% from other races;
- 1.1% Asian;
- 2.2% from two or more races;
- 0.4% American Indian;
- 0.02% Pacific Islander.
- In addition, 6.8% of the population self-identified as Hispanic or Latino, of any race, with ancestry mainly from Mexico and Puerto Rico.[SUP][152][/SUP]
i wonder why so many people choose to move to these places when there are so many other cheaper rent, lower tax locales they could choose to move to.All cities are broke...that's why they have to steal people's money.
You'll catch more fish trolling if you put something shiny on the end of your line.thanks for illustrating my point, smarty.

your one trick pony is lame, time to put it down.
are you yearning for a return to the grapes of wrath or something?People use to walk thousands of miles in search of a better life when shit didn't work, for whatever reason, in their current locale.
Now instead they are viewed as victims who are being held in their shit hole by some magical force they cannot control, and the rest of us are expected to help pay for it because somehow, it really is all our fault.
not even trolling, you need to stop setting yourself up for failure. your argument doesn't work all the time, not even a lot of the time.You'll catch more fish trolling if you put something shiny on the end of your line.
So cities DON'T get "their" money by taking it from people? I think you fell and hit your head.are you yearning for a return to the grapes of wrath or something?

your original statement was that cities STEAL people's money, which falls completely flat when cities are packed with people who CHOOSE to move there of their own accord, despite the availability of lower rent, lower tax options.So cities DON'T get "their" money by taking it from people?

I dare say that most of the people who live in Detroit were BORN there and had no choice in their birthplace.your original statement was that cities STEAL people's money, which falls completely flat when cities are packed with people who CHOOSE to move there of their own accord, despite the availability of lower rent, lower tax options.
dumbass.
captain one trick didn't limit scope to detroit, he opened it up to cities in general, including all the ones that people are flocking to from all over the country.I dare say that most of the people who live in Detroit were BORN there and had no choice in their birthplace.
sigh. In most cities, the majority of the residents were born in the area. You know this.captain one trick didn't limit scope to detroit, he opened it up to cities in general, including all the ones that people are flocking to from all over the country.
Your an idiot one of the people who put America in the shape its in Vote for a dumb ass , then back that dumb ass at each of his failures like a dumb ass. Like a sheep but you lead yourself into the slaughter.are you yearning for a return to the grapes of wrath or something?
