All the blue chitholes seem to have that in common. They used to be rich and built up a lot of successful businesses. Now they're living off of those businesses and the legacy of their past wealth and slowly bleeding it out with high taxes and socialism......acting like those businesses can never and will never leave. But they do. Something tells me they won't dial back the socialism one bit until they have thoroughly run those cities right into the ground and there is no more money left to tax or steal.
It's a snake eating its own tail. Benefit from capitalism; but denounce it and import more Democrat voters to provide not workers, but bodies needing Federal assistance. Get addicted to Federal slush, continue to bleed businesses. Finally several businesses cut back, and voters elect a no-nonsense cost cutter. Hence the rage in the streets by useful idiots crying over their teat-sucking criminal grifter class.
