""Chicago would seem to be on quite a roll these days. The city is a leading contender to host the Summer Olympics in 2016. The hometown Cubs had the most wins of any team in the National League last year and are one of the early favorites to win the 2009 World Series. And, of course, one of its own just became the most powerful person in the world (we're not talking about Oprah either, but she's close).
So with all of the good vibes coming out of Chicago, how does it show up as the third worst city on our second annual list of America's Most Miserable Cities?
Lousy weather, long commutes, rising unemployment and the highest sales tax rate in the country are to blame for the Windy City being near the top of our list. High rates of corruption by public officials didn't help either.""
Here is the list for "Americas Most Miserable Cities"
1) Stockton, Calif
2) Memphis, TN
3) CHICAGO, ILL
4) Cleveland, OH
5) Modesto, Calif
6) Flint, Mich
7) Detroit, Mich
8) Buffalo, NY
9) Miami, Fla
10) St. Louis, MO
Now! What do you think all TEN of these cities..all listed as "Americas most miserable cities to live in". What do you think all of them have in common?
Well if you said, all of them are run almost entirely by DEMOCRATS...
DING! DING! DING! DING!! THE PRIZE GOES TO YOU!!!
All of them are run by democrats. By and large. 9 out of the 10 are democratic mayors and the one that isn't has a state run by democrat legislatures and Governors AND Senators.
Look it up for yourself. Google the govts for each of these cities and the states that they are in. Look to see who Governs these places. Look who the senators are. Look. Look who the mayors are. Look who the Legislature is. Look who the govornors are. And lastly..
look who the population is largly made up of.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk !
Places like Michigan have sky rocketing unemployment. MICHIGAN, who touts the importance of UNIONS.....of which are only helping to kill jobs and send more and more people out of those cities and out of those states.
Obama's (man-child) own city and state..another union stronghold govorned entirelly by him and his party (democrats) is in total disary! Pathetically so.
So my question is: WHY? Why is this so? These should be (if you follow the logic that the 'democrat way' IS THE way to prosperity) the most THRIVING of cities and states. shouldn't they?
But.....then there is the reality. Democrats don't know what they are doing. And people suffer for a utopian IDEA, rather than a working and tested method.
In the end....while these moron democrats that govorn these states and cities are at fault, so to are the same dumbasses that vote them in only to whine and complain about it as they are packing their bags or losing their houses or packing their work belongings due to a pink slip on their desks.
It is they too who are responsible for much of their own woe's.
Will they learn? doubtfull. They are democrats after all.
