Liberal governance in action:
Step 1 — tax the s___t out of the productive people until they flee the city.
Step 2 — make the business climate so hostile that no new businesses want to move in.
Step 3 — start neglecting services when tax revenue start drying up to the point where parts of the city are literally uninhabitable.
Step 4 — give up and withdraw services from large parts of the city and let the mob take over.
You end up with a ghost town where the only inhabitants are criminals.
Note that there are many cities with lib/leftist government that have not collapsed like DeeeToilet, Philthydelphia such as Pittsburgh & Seattle. Wonder what the diff is?
