Why Do Democrats Run All Of The Dangerous And Rodent Infested Cities?

#15  Because they are so kindly and bleeding heart that they favor the criminals (who all had sad upbringings) rather than the police or victims. the natural result is crime, filth, and stockholm syndrome in the subjects.

#14  Think you're free? try not paying your income taxes...

The best thing about property taxes is that they could be enforced simply by making a border around property that decides not to pay it.

Property title has that value mostly because of the things near it, not what's on it.

#13  Why? Patronage. They can offer Free Stuffâ„¢, and more and more free stuff to city voters while others quibble about such silly things as Paying the Bills with Real Moneyâ„¢.

#12  Think you own your home? Try not paying your property taxes.

#11  They suck the cities dry and then run out of money. Much of the money gets funneled into party power politics, election-rigging, and pay-offs. I came through Detroit the other day. Not a pretty sight. It is another city that has suffered under Dem leadership.

#10  tax title ownership not wealth creation

That's called a property tax. I believe I pay enough of that one, thanks.

Way to many "liberals and beastiality" jokes there to count.

#8  I think the tax system encourages rent-seeking via taxing work, not land and this tends to concentrate people in ways that would not occur under capitalism (tax title ownership not wealth creation).

#7  Dems ignore the first rule of successful parasitism: Don't kill off the host. Over the long haul, for the rest of us this is a feature, not a bug.

#6  Hmmm! That is certainly a conundrum.

#5  Slum Lord Politicians.

#4  Ditto that #1. They suck the life out of the communities they control. They live in protected areas separate from those they control. Gated communities with heavy security. When you live in these places you are not supposed to better yourself. If you show signs of any advancement you are criticized for thinking you are better them. I have seen this myself.

#3  It's more a matter of creation than running.

#2  Some clever Republican should start importing pythons from Florida to get rid of the rats. I am sure a scientist can be shopped who will produce a study showing this is a much greener solution to a rat problem than traps and poison. Sure, the snakes will (probably?) die in winter, so then send a new batch each Spring.

#1  Because they cannot control sane and normal people.
