No, it will be outside the liberal cities that will leave the liberal ciites behind.

when corporations, the affluent and owners of capital can pull up stakes and relocate with ease?

Crap - I never thought of this.

They're going to make rules about when corporations may and MAY NOT leave.

The problem is too much government action and the liberal cure is more of the same.

Marxist Delusion on Parade

[Mr. K]

Now they are complaining that people don’t live in cities?

AGENDA 21

[MrB]

Yes, by all means! Leave us behind!

While you’re at it, BUILD WALLS around your cities to make sure we can’t hitch a ride!

[C. Edmund Wright]

this famed NYT columnist is a blithering idiot.

[cuban leaf]

Yeah. Detroit has left us all behind.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The problem with killing the rich and taking their stuff is that you can only do it once.

How can governments adopt substantial, effective policies in order to benefit the poor and the working class when corporations, the affluent and owners of capital can pull up stakes and relocate with ease?

Maybe it's like a marriage. You don't get to dictate things all by yourself - you have to think about what's best for the other person too.

From the article ... with commentary ...

There is no question that demographic diversity (lost of Democrat voters) and a solid stratum of high net worth taxpayers (the rich) in key cities provide fertile ground for liberal politics (take from those rich and give it to the poor).

[Vigilanteman]

Libtards never learn. The repeated failures of Marxist redistributionist policies are because the right people aren't in charge of running them, not because the policies themselves are fundamentally flawed.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Does this academia nut retard not realize that he destroys his own thesis with his own lead?

[Izzy Dunne]

The declining ability of the American political order to deliver a steadily rising standard of living to the vast middle and working classes

Willfully obtuse, he is.

The "steadily rising" standard of living DID NOT COME FROM THE POLITICAL ORDER !!

These outspoken mayors have generated a growing optimism on the Democratic left that local officials can restore support for government activism. Mayors and city councils, in this view, can lead the drive to improve the prospects and living conditions of those in the bottom third of the income distribution.

Yes the "War on Poverty" was such an outstanding success we should have another one. Do these people ever look at the data ?

[tomkat]

Does anyone - ANYONE - still believe we can ever peacefully coexist with the type of metastasizing anti-Constitutional statism represented by the author of this Progunist wet dream ? !

[sport]

We can hope, but in reality, no. They need their slave labor to keep them in the lifestyle they demand. A better question would be , Would we[ the producers] leave the Liberal cities behind? Down the road, our survival will depend on how that question is answered.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No.

New York City. Comrade De Blasio. Redistribution of wealth. Edsall is a typical lefty idiot who thinks he’s smarter than the rest of the room.
