Yup, nobody pays more taxes than a slum-dwelling poor person. Rebuild the slums! We need the money! The $200 BILLION will be repaid in no time!
Yeah it really sure is more cost effective to have 10s of thousands living on US Army bases having all their needs cared for by the Taxpayer then to have them owning their own homes and going to work and paying taxes. Really is more cost effective to have one of our major ports closed down and virtually all our agricultural exports trapped on the Mississippi river.
Like I said, penny wise and pound foolish.

I believe I stated in my POST ONE that the Plantation Princesses were under investigation.
Dude, impoverished black people do not pay taxes.
I'm sorry but you know what, all of NO wasn't a freaking slum!
It's tax revenues because the port is down, the hotels aren't doing convention and tourist business. and a major CBD isn't functioning.
New Orleans is a whole lot more than welfare mothers, which some people seem to forget.
It's railroads, and shipping, and petrochem and industry, if not in NO proper, then right in the same area. The city of New Orleans may have lots of poor people, but Metairie, Kenner, St. Charles Parish, St. Bernard Parish, Plaquemines Parish and so on do a lot of business. A lot of people live in those parishes and work in New Orleans.
They buy stuff. They make stuff. They build stuff. They sell stuff. Or did before the storm, and will do so again.
Lots of taxes get paid. Or did. And no doubt, will do so again.
