Many major U.S. cities run by liberal Democrats are in rough shape. They are afflicted by the problems of homelessness, violent crime, gangs, and unemployment to a far greater degree than the country as a whole.

What factors are common to corruption? One party rule? Powerful politicians controlling appointments at both the federal and local level?

$Billions being spent on problems that do not seem to go away?

Look no further than the corruption scandals in San Francisco where we have an effective Federal prosecutor. He was not appointed by Pelosi or Feinstein. He was appointed by Donald Trump.

Maybe we will find out why so little money ends up in the target zone, and why so much disappears, and why so many local politicians seem to get richer.

The corruption scandals with Public Works and the Airport Commission may be revealing of where your tax dollars are being abused. Mob rule, voter suppression or voter corruption are the tools of the Democrat/Socialist Party.

Easy answer, the "parasite class" (legal & illegal) out number the working class.

Which emboldens the anti-law criminal elected rulers. this includes thuggish law enforcement, perpetual state employee union members.

And depending who you talk to, there is evidential proof, all are private contractors and not actual state employees, and actually have zero authority. The problem is proving it may be easy, but when you're standing in front of a robed terrorist, even if you win, you loose.

Why? Man rejects God and His truth.

Cause, meet effect.

I think it all comes down to incentives. Politicians first and foremost want to preserve their power, and keeping people downtrodden and dependent enables that much more effectively than helping them become self sufficient. Much easier to make false promises and agitate to those who are poor and often uneducated. So there’s no incentive to solve the problem whatsoever.

When I was a kid in the '70s I once asked my dad: "Why are there so many crazy, drunk, criminal people downtown?"

We obviously didn't have that in our suburb, which wasn't far, but also wasn't fancy.

I wondered if living in a city *made* people so insane.

Or do freaks from all over just find their way there?

His theory was that lunatics flock to cities, because they CAN steal, do drugs, get drunk and for the most part get away with it.

That made sense as in my suburb there was probably one or two bums, and everyone knew them by name.

They mostly kept to themselves, and didn't really bother people.

It would be unthinkable for one of these unfortunate souls to pitch a tent outside City hall and start $hitting in the street.

In my small town, the cops would have run them off,and the mayor would have never allowed it.

Hell even in the "big city" of 1970s America, someone building a tent on the street wound be unthinkable.

As the article explains, LIEberal cities are a mess because they are run by LIEberals!

LIEberals LIE!

AND, they steal FRom and cheat poor suffering taxpayers!

Steve Feinstein captures the essence of the LIEberal mindset and criminal activitiy! He shines the spotlight of truth on the reasons why LIEberal cities are a mess!

The answer is: WE MUST QUIT ELECTING LIEBERAL DEMOCRATS TO PUBLIC OFFICE!

EASY-PEASEY!
