Forbes magazine just put out there list of "top ten most miserable cities".
Based on:
""Misery is defined as a state of great unhappiness and emotional distress. The economic indicator most often used to measure misery is the Misery Index. The index, created by economist Arthur Okun,......So we decided to expand on the Misery Index and the Misery Score to create our very own Forbes Misery Measure. We're sticking with unemployment and personal tax rates, but we are adding four more factors that can make people miserable: commute times, weather, crime and that toxic waste dump in your backyard.""
The list is as follows:
1. Detroit, MI
2. Stockton, CA
3. Flint, MI
4. New York City
5. Philadelphia, PA
6. Chicago, IL
7. Los Angeles, CA
8. Modesto, CA
9. Charlotte, NC
10. Providence, RI
The thing that is interesting to me about this list? Well...the thing that I find interestin about this very TELLING list, is that every city on it....every city, is run by, populated (largely), IN a STATE run by and populated by.....
...you guessed it.............democrats.
Now if the STATE is largely run by democrats.
and the city IN the state is largely run by democrats.
And largely POPULATED by democrats.......
.....how is it that they can be "Miserable"?
I mean, aren't they living what they would consider to be the "dream?" Is this not the life that they would chose if given the choice?
Why is it that they are in such misery, when they have everything that they could have possibly wanted? A state with a democrat government, run by democrats and populated by democrats.
The answer: democrats make everything they touch , ....everything.... worse.
And one of the ways that they do this is by trying to have the govt take on more and more of your life.
Bringing you to think that you cant do for yourself, and that you must rely on them.
Another reason:
democrats are not very authentic people. Sure, they'll tout their"green" theology all day long. But when the rubb-ah meets the road, most of these people are still choosing to drive, rather than car-pool or take one of the (unused) subway or rail systems .
Causing the massive commute times in Cali and NY.
Taxes: in these democrat 'utopia's' are sky high. Sky High.
Violent Crime: is also high. Remember! "populated largely by democrats". Aren't these supposed to be the tolerant ones? The give peace a chance crowd?
It doesn't help when many of these cities refuse to clean themselves up, and do something about the violent homeless packs, that are overrunning these cities, being abusive to the citizenry.
Housing: Prices through the roof. People can barely afford to rent, Much less BUY. Many are choosing to get OUT of these places, and as fast as possible.
California has seen more people leaving than coming INTO the state.
So I ask you, just how can this be? If your a democrat, don't you have everything that you want?
Well, you would think so, wouldn't you? But one of the things that the democrats love is our public school system, and doing the bidding of the teachers unions and keeping it exactly how it is.
Keeping the population as dumb as humanly possible. So that they can sit there, picking their nose with one hand, and scratching their heads with the other. Saying to eachother:
"Hey....isnt this what we wanted? How come things suck? How come things are not quite right? Why is it that we are miserable?"
Answer:
Your state is run by......
Your cities are run by....
You populace is largely.....
Same views.....
Same world view.....
Same policies.....
Same values......
...............misery = democrat.....
