Top American Cities with Poverty-a Lesson?

A friend set this to me, I haven't verified this information and thought someone might have a few comments. If its true then it speaks to a culture of dependence and oppression we have to stop empowering.

TOP 10 POVERTY CITIES



This has got to be one of the greatest American tragedies. What do the top 10 cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?



Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961;



Buffalo, NY (2nd)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1954;



Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984;



Cleveland, OH (4th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989;



Miami, FL (5th)...has never had a Republican mayor;



St. Louis, MO (6th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949;



El Paso, TX (7th)...has never had a Republican mayor;



Milwaukee, WI (8th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908;



Philadelphia, PA (9th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952;



Newark, NJ (10th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1907.



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



It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet are still disadvantaged.



The disadvantaged remain disadvantaged because they are looking for a Liberal Democratic Government to give them something, when all they have to do is work for it.



(How can a person be 5th generation & disadvantaged in this country?)



"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on to them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free".
