"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

As the chronology of the posts shows, Big Dog is just a big joke.....he's not interested in a mature, rational and fact based debate...he just babbles in hopes that no one will notice that he just can't back up what he says. So unless he can offer something other than his standard blathering, I'll let him have the last predictable word.

Cory Booker went to Stanford, was a Rhodes Scholar to Oxford, and then graduated from Yale Law School. He is not going to pick cotton in a field. He is far better educated then trump.

Newark lost people and tax base during deindustrialization. They are down by about a third. That is a whole bunch of empty houses, and a whole bunch of services that they have to render to areas without people paying taxes. They would love more people, and better yet, more people that could pay good taxes.
A city like San Francisco has a problem that wealthy people move in and push out the poor. Newark has more than enough space for the poor.
And before you say it is all Booker's fault, Newark went into decline in the 1950's, and Booker was not even born until 1969. Booker actually started expanding Newarks' population, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Okay, but no matter how you slice it, gentrification happening to Newark https://www.citylab.com/equity/2019/...search/586537/
"good taxes" is a buzz phrase to cover the FACT that the wealthy are not paying their fair share (tax code loopholes, off shore accounts, etc.) and corporate businesses within commuting distance pay crap wages while using OUR tax dollars to set up shop off shore.
Like someone much wiser than I once said, when people find themselves with no shelter, with no food or decent medical care, only then do they realize that you can't eat money, that money makes lousy building material and has no medicinal properties.
