I love stories like these. It just shows that these people are willing to do anything to destroy the place in which they live. These people being uneducated, ignorant socialists. It’s really too bad that winter is approaching and the cold weather will put a damper on the smell of uncollected trash in NYC. These people are willing to live in their own filth. These people are willing to loot, riot, raze businesses, shut down the economy. And those that don’t actively participate allow it to happen. Shame on them. They deserve everything they get.
When it comes to cities, you can’t assume the taxpayers and the voters are one and the same. Liberals dominate cities because a mass of people contributing little or nothing are simply voting themselves goodies from other peoples’ (and more importantly, COMPANIES’) taxes. Any sound fiscal conservative simply has his/her vote drowned by a deluge of gibsmedats’ votes.
That is why the Founding Fathers didn’t allow taxpayers to vote; “representation without taxation” is even worse than “taxation without representation”.
