7/7/2020You’re kidding right? Your “problems” are GROWTH AND PROSPERITY. I’m in philly, a blue cesspool where our roads damage your vehicle because they hire based on bribes and the shoddiest cheapest labor and materials are used so even when they fix roads, they break again almost instantly. We have taxes added every 2 years for education. First, cigarettes went up $2 a pack overnight which disproportionately affected the POOR because they couldn’t afford to leave the city to get the $2 cheaper cigarettes. Mind you, it’s an addiction, people are still going to buy them no matter the price, even choosing them over food and bills. Then 2 years later they instituted the sugar tax...that’s right, they tax you if you want to consume anything with added sugar. Talk about freedom being stripped from you, in the home if independence and freedom no less! Our crime and violent crime is through the roof, I was involved in a car accident and it took THREE HOURS for the cops to show up, 3 months to get the police report! There is trash EVERYWHERE and some of the blame goes to city workers who try to make 3 pointers into the trash truck with our trash bags...when they miss, they leave the mess which blows all around our Windy City. The schools are crap, the people act entitled and ignorant as they drop their dog crap bags in your recycling bin or walk out in front of your car when you have the right way....oh wait, they made that a law too. If someone steps right out in front of your moving vehicle leaving you no time to stop, that’s YOUR FAULT because everywhere you can walk is no pedestrian right of way street all times. I’m on Medicaid because I’m disabled from a rare condition that prevents me from working. I was denied SSDI 3x. I don’t qualify for cash assistance because I don’t have biological children under 18. They cancelled cash assistance for the disabled because they ran out of money when they stopped requiring you be a US citizen to collect welfare. They CAN work and get cash, I CANT and DONT. How is that fair? It’s not, it’s effed up. But come to a blue state, where they TELL you they care, then make policies that eff you over like cash assistance and the sugar tax.
I’ll take wealth, prosperity and growth over holey roads, through the roof everyday taxes, policies that hurt the poor and marginalized, and lack of programs to help those who truly need it (that help those who DO NOT).
