Awesome with facts .....
Also add to the list of final sayings:
“It is impossible to tax yourself into prosperity.”
“Socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money.”
“Success for Republicans is getting more people off welfare. Success for Democrats is getting more people on welfare.”
“When another citizen takes something from you against your will, it’s called ‘stealing’. When government takes something from you against your will, they call it ‘redistribution’.”
“Liberals believe there isn’t anything that can’t be fixed by more government in everyone’s lives. Conservatives believe almost all problems people have are BECAUSE of more government in everyone’s lives.”
“Ask a liberal for solutions to today’s problems, and they always propose more spending of other people’s money, more intrusion of government into other people’s lives, and more restrictions on other people’s freedoms. Ask a conservative for solutions to today’s problems, and they will say stopping liberals from imposing their ‘solutions’ on everyone else’s lives.”

Until I saw the part about the population over 250,000 I wouldn’t have placed El Paso on that list. It’s got a huge military presence that is going to be growing over the next few years, but it is on the border, and a lot of the folks that could moved from Juarez to El Paso to get away from the violence.
What do these cities have in common??
Democrat-run El Paso had to work HARD to get on this list, Texas is one of the few places adding jobs and all those illegals working cheap should be a boon, right??

What is the authoritative source for this list? Someone just make it up? I can believe it, but not until someone cites the source.
These cities have been messed up for a long time, but they keep electing the same folks. That says a lot about the voters, but you cannot argue it hasn’t been a success for the Democrats. The politics of envy and class and race based grievances seem to work in the sense the Democrats keep getting reelected. So long as the government checks keep coming, I don’t see it changing anytime soon either.
Cincinnati is not poor.
I know this because the City just gave $1,000,000.00 to a black scoflaw named Liz Rogers to open up a “greens and beans” soul food place downtown.
The City is rolling in the money.

Interesting list (% of people below the poverty level). Thanks for posting. Having lived in SE Michigan (Detroit, metro Detroit) my entire life, it doesn’t surprise me that Detroit is #1. 45 years later and it hasn’t rebounded from the 1967 riots...and in many ways it is much worse off. It is a perfect example of the failure of corruption/socialism. Hopefully with Kwame a couple of years removed it has finally turned the corner...but then there’s Ficano...

Look...I think that most of us already agree that there is a significant and logical link between poverty and liberalism. But when you post a list like that without even posting the source of the list, itself, you make your post very questionable.
Is this the Forbes’ list, the Business Week list, the list from Money and Business? Is it the list of cities with populations over 250,000? What year is this list?
How about filling in the gaping holes here so the information is at least somewhat useful to those to read it...?
Where did Memphis rank....they are the welfare capitol of the state of TN along with being the highest crime rates.
