Chicago, for example, is typical Democrat city. It is actually Democrats model for whole USA: 10% sale tax. The highest in the nation. Average homicide : 490 in 2008. It is yet the lowest rate of murder rate compared to the past
For God's sake, you would not get that kind of rate of death in War zone like Iraq right now!
If you are for Democrat, you do not have to vision the country. Just look at Detriot, Washington DC, and Chicago
Do you know why Washingto DC has over 70% percentage of black population? Govenment and its subsides. They are living on govenment subsidiary.
What is subsidiary? In essence, it is money Govenment collected through tax. Govenment find some "good" reason to spend it to create "jobs"
