Progressives are great for power hungry rich assholes, but poison for working class people.



NY Times journalists explore what happens when Democrats have all the power, find out 'blue states are the problem'

A pair of New York Times journalists who recently set out to explore what happens when Democrats control all the levels of power in state and local governments across the country were shocked to discover that "blue states" — not red ones — "are the problem."



"What do Democrats actually do when they have all the power?" Times video journalist Johnny Harris asked at the outset of an opinion video posted by the paper last week.



They focused on three core initiatives of the Democratic Party platform: affordable housing, economic equality, and educational opportunity. And in the end, they discovered that "liberal hypocrisy," not Republican opposition, "is fueling American inequality" and that things are actually much worse in blue states than they are in red.



"In key respects, many blue states are actually doing worse than red states," the journalists noted in a written report accompanying the video. "It is in the blue states where affordable housing is often hardest to find, there are some of the most acute disparities in education funding and economic inequality is increasing most quickly."



"Blue states are the problem," Applebaum, who covers economics and business for the Times, exclaimed.



"Blue states are where the housing crisis is located. Blue states are where the disparities in education funding are the most dramatic. Blue states are the places where tens of thousands of homeless people are living on the streets. Blue states are the places where economic inequality is increasing most quickly in this country. This is not a problem of not doing well enough; it is a situation where blue states are the problem," he added.



At one point, Harris noted that "affluent liberals tend to be really good at showing up at the marches and talking about how they love equality, [and] at putting signs in their lawns saying, 'All are welcome here.'"



"But by their actions," he continued, "What they are actually saying is, 'Yes, we believe in these ideals, just not in my backyard.'"



The New York Times may just be waking up to this notion, but the American people have been keen to it for some time — and have been showing their dissatisfaction by leaving blue states and moving to red ones at record levels.







Harris teamed up with Times editorial board writer Binyamin Appelbaum to examine why famously liberal states — such as New York, California, and Washington — struggle to advance the progressive policies despite little to no Republican opposition.

Will people keep more of their cheque in Texas or California? I rest my case.

Californians flee their state for Texas because their home state has high taxes, too many rules and regulations that makes life expensive and less free. When they get to Texas they vote for idots who will raise taxes, impose stupid rules and regulations and make life less affordable. :crazy:

It's simple, their policies, no their religious beliefs make people poor.

I dont know much about politics except for that it is backward and greedy.  I'm sick n tired of hearing about the economy excuse...the economy this, the economy that...yet millions are suffering.  I'm just stumped by why our world is just sitting at a standstill in greed...I truly believe there are other and better ways to live and would benefit everyone as a whole...but it would take away the hoarding of wealth to the greedy...so we all fall.  I have no faith left in this world.

This thread isn't about greed. At least not what you think greed is.

I hope South Korea and Taiwan move all their plants in China to other countries.

Democrat Stacey Abrams announces another bid for the Georgia governorship. "With Stacey Abrams in control, Georgia would have shut down, students would have been barred from their classrooms, and woke politics would be the law of the land and the lesson plan in our schools," Gov. Kemp tweeted. "
