Welcome to the "most liberal" city in the United States.
Detroit can only serve as a textbook example of what happens when the consumers exceed the providers, taxwise. I have always wondered if that "tipping point" is the ultimate cure for all "perversions of a good idea".
Like forced compassion (public welfare), and multiculturalism, and Political Correctness.
Perhaps it is, but not so long as we continue to insist that the major and primary cause of the problem be incorporated into the solution.
Good luck.
