Einstein had it right

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

Yet, we see the voters in certain cities and states continue to do this and their plight only gets worse.

10 Poorest Cities in America (How did it happen?)

City, State, and % of People Below the Poverty Level

1. Detroit , MI 32.5%

2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%

3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%

4. Cleveland , OH 27.0%

7. El Paso , TX 26.4%

8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%

9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%

10. Newark , NJ 24.2%

 

What do these top ten cities (over 250,000pop.) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats ... yet they are still POOR.

 

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.

 

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

 

~ Abraham Lincoln

We now know the genius of Einstein and the stupidity of some voters.   

President Trump was right when during the 2016 campaign he said, “Vote for me, what have you got to lose”.

We see how well California is doing when the governorship, state legislator, local city councils are all controlled by democrats.  In New York State it is the governor, state legislator, NYC Mayor’s office and city council and we see how well these states are doing.  The people cannot move out fast enough, if they can afford it at all.
