    But Cherry-picking miscellaneous trivia and calling it factual comprehensive evidence is the liberal code- why should they object at all? They wrote the definitive book on this.

    The common factor can be boiled down to this: The trouble with high taxes is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

    Can you name a few and define large?

    It's cherry picking to point out that all of the worst run cities in the nation are long time Dem Party operated enclaves?

    Until recently the Dems in Chicago managed to contain the city's woes in South Chicago but those chickens have come home to roost. It's sadly ironic that, this beautiful metropolis was planned and built by the genius of capitalism andcelebrated the economic colossus of the mid west. 150 years later Democrat policies have created it's decline. It still has it's charms but is not very safe.

    "Large" is defined by the OP.

    A few not on the list: Seattle, Minneapolis, Austin. Not to mention numerous other cities in the Western / Anglosphere world with policies like those held by Democrats in the United States without these woes.

    But he didn't define it. Besides in cities like Madison where the Black population is tiny, they commit virtually all the homicides and a large amount of the other violence crime. Fixed it for you. If you're using Austin as an example, you've never been there.

    "Large" as in "about as large as the cities named in the OP". Hope that clarifies things.

    That's kind of the point.

    I haven't been there but I am aware that it has a relatively low black population and I'm not aware of it having issues with municipal administration on the order of those of a city like Detoilet.
