So this is the new Liberal angle on people not paying their water bills -- the people can't because they are poor and unemployed. They are poor and unemployed because rich fat cat Wall Street types financially plundered the city. Ergo, its not their fault that they refuse to pay their water bills; its Wall Street's fault.
Yep...it’s Wall Street’s fault...kepping in mind that “Wall Street” means “successful white people” to them. So what the author is saying is that Detroit is Detroit because of successful white people. The so-called “successful white people” who are just normal human beings that do not understand this are the reason this country is going to crap. In olden days they just sold leftover food to these people for cheap but were never dumb enough to give them a free paycheck or let them be in charge of ANYTHING!
