America’s Detroit Future - Obama’s politics and policies promise nothing less.

In the 1950s, Detroit was the fourth largest city in America, with a population of nearly 2 million. It was also a middle class paradise, with the highest median family income of all major cities in the entire country. The last Republican mayor of Detroit was elected in the 1950s.

Then the 1960s happened, and Detroit became a socialist one party state. And you know what that one party was. Over the next half century, city politics in Detroit was a battle between Left and Lefter, or socialism versus communism. Let’s face reality and speak the truth. We see there the heart and soul of the Democratic Party, what comes out when the party is left undisturbed, and is free to be what it wants to be.

As a result, taxes, government spending, and disabling regulation of evil profit-making activity (business) boomed. Detroit residents came to pay the highest income and property taxes in the state, and Michigan is not known as a low tax state. Businesses within the state became a target for tax plunder. Last year, financially desperate Detroit doubled its business tax, administering one last lash to the golden goose before going down, as that counterproductively only made the problem worse rather than better.

Government employee unions and their self-interested political activism took over the city, with the support of the city’s population thinking that whatever the unions wanted had to be good for working people and the middle class. Taxes, of course, are mother’s milk for government employee unions, who literally eat and live off of taxes...

With the IRS in charge of Obama’care,’ the United States of America will become totally controlled by corrupt politicians at the Federal level, IOW we will be a Communist State.

We need to create as much civil disobedience as legally possible, because our sorry Congressional RINOs will not Impeach Obama for violations of the US Constitution or Dereliction of Duty.

Communist Tyrant B. Hussein Obama has no intention of allowing the US Congress to interfere with Obama’s selective implementation of the Anti-Trust violations of Obama’care.’

Obama will use HIS Bureaus, HIS Executive Orders, and HIS Military to “preserve, protect and defend” Obama’care’ in order to insure the complete financial destruction of The United States of America, and thus fulfill his 1st Inaugural vow to “Fundamentally changing the United States of America.”

I’ve seen many folks spin Detroit as a failure of Republican politics. And that just goes to show: the Left refuses to take responsibility for anything, the Left is deeply dishonest, the Left refuses to learn from the past, and the Left wants to continue to wage a destructive war against this country.

“I’ve seen many folks spin Detroit as a failure of Republican politics”
Amazing propaganda program the progressives have developed. They really believe there are no consequences for their actions.
