Now you are being sarcastic. Whites being sarcastic won't draw in ethnic voters.

Is a dollar off the water bill as good as the Republican agenda gets? Or is there more?

Now you're oversimplifying.... it would be a LOT more than a buck. It's the root of their problems. Again, why'd the Dem mayor go after the teachers' union?

What ethniticity are you representing?

You where the one whining that ethnic voters didn't understand the Republican agenda. Help them understand.

OK, let's say you are right again and the savings would be a lot more than a dollar a month. Let's go fantastical and say the savings are ten dollars a month per person.

Again, we have a dilapidated city. The citizens each have ten extra bucks a month of welfare money to spend.

Tell us how things get better from there.

$10 per person is almost 4 million dollars a month. But I suspect they'd save that on trash pickup alone.

My whining was that the poor self identify with the Dems. And all they'll have is welfare until the government gets out of the way.

And btw, government workers do not have to live in Cleveland city limits, and if they had kids they'd be wise not to do so.

OK. Let's assume you are right. The inner city people have 4 million dollars a month of welfare money to spend. A few city workers now live in the burbs and they have less money since their union was outlawed. Maybe a few of them will lose their homes and begin to decay the suburbs where they lived.

You have gotten everything you want.

Tell us how things get better.

Hard to argue with this guy:





I would argue that anything is better than what the left is doing now. Although perhaps we can get a few more of them tossed in jail...

Move to Mississippi and then make this argument.

Unfortunately that is a different constituency...

Were they ever as successful as Cleveland or Detroit?

Wait a sec - they're closing car plants here, and opening them there.

You gave up.

That's not going to attract ethnic voters.
