Post by Jaybird »

Could this be correct? I have been at the Lake since the 1st of June and haven't had the opportunity to check it. :D :D

Hummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Interesting to say the least.
TEN POOREST CITIES
City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level
1. Detroit , MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland , OH 27.0%
5. Miami , FL 26.9%
5. St. Louis , MO 26.8%
7. El Paso , TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%
10. Newark , NJ 24.2%
What do the top ten cities(over 250,000 population)
with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results.'


It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats yet they are still POOR!
"You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people
permanently by doing for them,
what they could and
should do for themselves."

Wow. Interesting and insightful. I've gotta feeling that those cities will stay at the top of that list because of the constant ease of qualifying for welfare, freebies and taxpayer subsidized handouts are promises made by every Democrat who runs for office. X(
Happy camper and happy boater!!
