Detroit is a parasitic municipality - a legal entity with vast untenable obligations and no means to pay. I don't know about you but I don't feel sorry for parasites. If they're attached to me I don't feel bad when they fall off and die.
And we are not 'all in this together'. In what sense are we 'all in it together' when we are not all enjoying extremely lucrative pensions?
Agreed.
And we are not 'all in this together'.
Unfortunately, we are. I don't like it, and I'm sure you don't like it either. But we are all in this together.
Because it's your tax dollars and my tax dollars that will continue to support the welfare crowd in Detroit.
And it's your tax dollars and my tax dollars that will bail Detroit out.
And there will be a bail out. It might be a stealth bailout, like the Fed's guaranteeing new Detroit bonds, or something like that. But there will be a bail-out. And unless conservative principles are applied, the bail-out will fail.
