A Case Study on Decades of Liberal Policies
Now that socialism is increasing in popularity, it's good to take a step back and look at places where liberals dominate government. Detroit has a had a Democrat as mayor for over 60 years. During that time, taxes have soared, crime is ascendant, unemployment is out of control, whites have been driven out of government jobs by race based hiring practices, and property values have tanked.

The size of the police force in Detroit has been cut by about 40 percent over the past decade," "it takes (the police) an average of 58 minutes to respond" to a call and the "police solve less than 10 percent of the crimes that are committed in Detroit.

The city's per-capita tax burden is the highest in Michigan. Detroit has the country's highest property taxes on homes, the top commercial property tax and the second-highest industrial property tax.

The school system is horrible, which explains why a staggering 47% of the population is illiterate. In addition, 40% of the street lights don't work, only about 1/3 of the ambulances are running, and 2/3 of the parks have been closed since 2008. Just to give you an idea of its priorities, an independent report in 2012 suggested the city fire 80% of the Water and Sewage Department including a horseshoer" that it has on staff even though it has NO HORSES.

Detroit can thank Obama for the soaring murder rate. Obama the great divider.
