    Why do you think it is that you do that?
    Now you're just lying BAC. Show where you got your information. Where do you get that meme you posted? Does it say they judge by states Romney won or lost or by who is in control locally?

    Again, why do you we have the highest poverty rate in the country in an all Democratic state?

    But many have programs to help the poor avoid third world living conditions. Instead of being proud that the least among us in this nation, live better than the majority in other nations...our politicians sell some bullshit about 'takers'.

    And the 'takers' eat it up, and vote against their own best interests.

    Are you going to answer my question, or are you just going to run?
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    I hope you are sitting down Cypress as this may cause you a feinting spell. I happen to agree with you on this.

    Bernie must have been reading my posts for the last ten years. If we imposed a $.10 fee on every Wall St transaction, there would be no underfunded programs in this country.

    Answer my question and I'll embarrass you with where I got that information from.

    Are you going to just keep running?

    There is not much difference Althea. One tends to be the carrier of the other. It happens everywhere in America not just certain places which was the point of the OP. That should not be.

    That's because it's hard to disagree with the truth. Hell...how many billions just 'disappeared' in Iraq under Bush, and nobody seemed to care?

    Of course one tends to be the reason for the other. That doesn't mean all who are impoverished live in squalor. But those of us who live in high tax states understand this concept.

    Many people disagree with the truth all the time because of their political beliefs. To me this more about common sense, not politics.

    I live in a high tax state so no reason to attempt to act snotty. NYC is not the entire state of NY.

    You're kind of an idiot .. which explains why you're a republican.

    YOU inject race into the conversation .. then you run like a rabbit from the truth.

    Cowardly.

    Thanks for the conversation. Explains a lot.
