Detroit , MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961; Buffalo , NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954; Cincinnati , OH (3rd)...since 1984; Cleveland , OH (4th)...since 1989; Miami , FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor; St. Louis , MO (6th)....since 1949; El Paso , TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor; Milwaukee , WI (8th)...since 1908; Philadelphia , PA (9th)...since 1952; Newark , NJ (10th)...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 poor who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still poor. Of course, liberal Dumocrates will refute these facts as propaganda from the radical right. |
1. Louisiana - 20.3%
2. Mississippi - 19.9% 3. New Mexico - 18.6% 4. West Virginia - 18.5% 5. Kentucky - 17.4% 6. Alabama - 17.1% 7. Texas - 16.3% 8. Oklahoma - 16.1% 9. Arkansas - 16.0% 10. Arizona - 15.4% Source: U.S. Census Bureau, See Table 699, Statistical Abstract of the United States, 2006. Lets see...Except for New Mexico they all voted for McCain. So if people who vote DNC are 100% insane, then people who vote GOP are close behind them at 90%. Give it a bloody rest.:rolleyes: |
Why is there a belief that the political party is directly related to the level of poverty in Detroit??
Dang, I hate to be the one to bring you all up on current events, but Detroit, in general, builds cars. If the cars do not sell, there is NO work. :D |

ok everyone needs to admit that our two parties are broken and won't be fixed until neither of them has power. We need to stop electing career politicians and start electing the smartest people for the jobs.
|
The major cities in america are run by liberals and you see how screwed up they are. Give the other partys a chance to run them and then if they dont fix em, throw them out also.
Here in ct every major city is deeply in debt, school drop out rates are the highest ever, all three big city majors are either in jail or going there. Hartfords major jsut got indited 2 weeks ago. Our governor was in jail for a year The stimulus package will end up doing one thing for sure- MORE politicians will end up in jail from greed and graff once they get there hands on the money joeg |
What is considered the poverty line?
|
Jams,
A few years ago the Govt. spent a lot of money having a study done to determine what Middle Class is and I don't think they ever really came up with an answer for that. As for the poverty line, I am not sure they have actually decided what it would be. Ron |
The 2009 federal poverty levels (as defined by The Department of Health and Human Services) are as follows:

Too many people having too many kids - end of story.

We seem not to be so bad here

Drop out of High School + Have a kid or more + Don't get Married before having the Kid (s) + Divorce when you finally do marry = A life time BROKE
Such people have always been broke and always will. Very rarely do stupid people doing stupid things succeed. It's not rocket science. I also don't see it as my job to pay/reward them for their stupid decisions. If stupid doesn't hurt,you just keep doing stupid. "The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that you can fix ignorance... if you're not stupid." |
I taught in Urban Jersey City, NJ. It is just a cycle of stupidity and poverty. Until the cycle is broben nothing will change.
The city once developed an area with prefab houses(beautiful)...within a few months it turned back into a slum. If people don't have to work for it, they don't respect it! |
