How do you take back a city, though? Or a state? As cities and states become more liberal, conservatives flee, and the remaining liberals make the state more and more hostile towards business. As revenues fall, taxes increase, and doing business becomes more difficult, so more businesses fail or close shop and move.

In Detroit, the city is down on the ground and keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper. It never seems to occur to them that this ain't working. They blame the "rich" who all fled years ago, and raise taxes, beggering the few remaining businesses, like tics on a dying dog. How do you take it back? You can't change tax policy until you get a majority, and you'll never be able to run a business long enough to start building a conservative majority. Will Chicago go the same way?

Sounds like it is time to move away or be stuck in a liberal heaven.
