Just like Witholder said that Americans were afraid to have a conversation about race (categorically untrue BTW), we shouldn’t be afraid to have a conversation about the growing Parasite Class. Romney was dead-on when he mentioned the unreachable 47%, but he lacked the courage to defend that point once it got spread around.
Romney lost but the problem he spoke of did not go away. In fact, Øbongo is doing everything that he can to expand that class. At a certain point reasonable people are going to have to make a choice - either change course and cut them loose, or join them. I’ve grown weary of working my tail off and driving a 10 yo beater just so I can watch my neighbor sit on his ass and sponge off the state.
The ones who are striving can be reached. What fraction of the 47% are striving?
LOL, I knew before I even clicked on the actual story that one of the cities would be Detroit. No doubt that Detroit is a sh!thole, but far from the only one out there.
