The way it works is fiendishly simple. Black politicians pass laws that extort wealth by gunpoint from those better off (the so-called rich) and give it to those less so (the poor) -- in this case, poor blacks. Over time, made dependent on government largess for survival, an ever-growing number of poor blacks vote for the black politician, who promises to shower them with the most free goodies paid for by the "evil rich." This is how black political dynasties are born and nourished in this nation. As the saying goes, "Those who rob Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul."

When they encounter confiscatory taxes and anti-wealth rhetoric that's frequently racially charged, they have a high propensity to skedaddle and take their wealth, businesses and opportunities with them to more welcoming climes like Texas.
The result is Detroit. It's no more complicated than that.

Growth and prosperity would have brought threats and challenges to her power. Authority, control and power motivate liberals. They really don’t care about the people.
