....We can’t be run by the elderly in a city…that, that, that’s foolishness....
Any country that allows and encourages murder of it’s unborn children and horribly disrespects it’s elderly enough to kick them out of their homes for the “public good” is doomed.
Republican said this, the MSM-Democrats would hang the quote around the neck of every Republican in the country.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said that New York state is no place for “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay” Republicans.
“(T)hey have no place in the state of New York,” the governor said, “because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”
Outrageous!
What a typically preachy liberal that guy is. All he talked about the entire time was spending more money in spite of the fact that other municipal services appear to be costing a disproportional amount of money. Liberals always have the same mantra: tax more and spend more.

” What we need.. Is a program to get her OUT of her house...”
I wondered how long it would take for them to put the elderly on their hit list in the name of "social justice".
The "education" racket is insatiable for little to no return. It would be ironic if the over-housed occupant spouse was a former teacher.
Actually, the elderly are very cost-effective. They do not use the public school system.
I think we know what his opponent with be drilling into the voters’ heads next election.
The idiot is not only riffing about one of his own neighbors (she must really like him after that comment), but he then goes on to say why don’t the elderly all leave and go down to Orlando with their own kind. Imagine if this was said about a racial minority.
Well the good Alderman was just espousing a rational economic thought regarding the municipality’s finances. (extreme sarcasm)
Reminds me of the Dem who said nobody has a right to live past 75.
This is a perfect example of why “progressives” hate property rights, and hate the Constitution.
Remember, Obama said that the Constitution is a document of “negative rights” because it limits what the government can do. That’s another example of progressive thought.
The only thing that progresses under progressives is the power and scope of the government, to the detriment of the “ultimate minority.” The individual.

Many, myself included, predict that this kind of thing will become more common with each passing year.
Gen X missed much of their prime earning years and will probably have to work for as long as they possibly can.
Gen Y has not gotten off to a good start and will find themselves increasingly behind the curve though they will be well employed since there are so few of Gen X and so many boomer jobs to backfill.
The Boomers have not fared well in general with the “new” pension plan of the 401K and so the problem will probably self-remedy though the Boomers represent a large voting block and will hold out as long as they can by such tax incentives.
Gen X and Y will be wanting Boomers dead before it is all over.
I have heard liberals say that a single person “shouldn’t be allowed” to have that much house (of course, when you mention that Politician X, Movie Star Y or Sports Player Z have sprawling mansions and grounds, that is usually met with a shake of the head or an eye roll).
Sadly, I have heard people with otherwise conservative values say things like “you don’t need that much house” which shows the dangerous slope this is on.
Did the good Alderman ever get around to clearly stating who should be running the city?
Regards,
There are LOTS and LOTS of elderly people in soviet Red Hampshire...thanks to high taxes; they can’t afford to move away. Many continue to vote democrat, because Roosevelt was the most awesome president EVER!
Disgusting
Pogroms against the elderly. Yeah that’s right up the Democrats alley.
