meanwhile, a stat not being hilighted..
when 0bama assumed office in jan 2009, the average household income was a bit over $55,000
this chart shows that number has dropped by more then 20% to less then $45,000 !!!
how’s that change working for ya?
are we in Detroit yet?
What is the annual income of Gibsmedat households after government benefits are added to the $0-4,500 (or more in unreported cash) that might be earned from work? The answer might reveal why so many of these rock-solid Democrats are content not to work. In a world devoid of any objective standard of right and wrong, why should they work?
Far better if the mass media would ask “ which cities provide the greatest economic opportunities for people to improve their financial status?” At least it would be a question consistent with American values. Which is why the mass media doesn’t discuss it, of course.
I was going to color the bars of all the liberal controlled cities blue and the conservative ones red, but someone beat me to it :)
A city’s job is to create tax incentives and infrastructure that encourages new business and private sector jobs. Create the private sector jobs, and forget socialist nonsense like income equality.
Without reading it, off the top of my head I would guess places where leftleaning politicians have been in charge for a long time.
