Look at the cities in the USA with the highest percent of poor folks. Then look
at the leadership they've had for years and years. You'll get an idea what
liberals, at least those in power, think.

As long as the poor are kept poor and uneducated, they'll keep thinking handouts
will be their saving grace.

BTW, here is an answer to the WalMart/ Costco pay.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_does_costco_pay

Yeah, Costco apparently pays more than Walmart for a starting salary. A *lot*
more? No, at least not to that guy.

I do a lot of shopping at Costco also. WalMart gets my business only if it's
something I know they carry. The local WalMart is about a half mile away. The
Costco is about 10-12.

As to 'American made goods', please check out some labels at Costco. I think
most of their American made stuff is in the meat department.

What is your fetish with liberals? Quote some debatable cause and
effect issues with whatever cities you have in mind.

True about Costco's sources.... and I think you'll see I didn't
champion their source of goods. I was impressed with WalMart during
Sam Walton's tenure.... now, they suck and I'm sure he's turning in
his grave.

As for the poor and uneducated, a lot of them have been kept there
through corporate interests and their influence on local governments
and thence, through the education process. There are plenty of cities
in NC that were governed by the local mill or factory through proxy.

When your stereotypes are examined, they are just that, stereotypes.

Here is the root of my fetish with liberals:

City, State, % of People Below the poverty Level

1. Detroit , MI 32.5%

2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%

3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%

4.. Cleveland , OH 27.0%

5. Miami , FL 26.9%

5. St.. Louis , MO 26.8%

7.. El Paso , TX 26.4%

8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%

9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%

10. Newark , NJ 24.2%

Detroit, MI (1st on poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since
1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati , OH (3rd)...since 1984;

Cleveland , OH (4th)...since 1989;

Miami , FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor;

St. Louis , MO (6th)....since 1949;

El Paso , TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor;

Milwaukee , WI (8th)...since 1908;

Philadelphia , PA (9th)...since 1952;

Newark , NJ (10th)...since 1907.

Remember when I asked for debatable cause and effect issues?

Here's an example of your logic: Whenever ice cream sales increase, so
do shark attacks. Therefore, ice cream sales cause shark attacks.



I saw a cartoon of a laboratory with a dead mouse stuck in a baited
mousetrap, and the scientist was on the phone saying.. "Hello...FDA?
Our tests have just concluded that cheese causes death in mice!"
