It’s a mess because the local government has rendered the police powerless. Crime is up.
Wealth/Income inequality is a myth. I’m a firm believer that everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. We all have the same opportunities in this country. I’m also a proponent of everyone paying their fair share. The top 1% pays 90% of taxes. If you think there should be reparations or redistribution of wealth, you’re barking up the wrong tree. I’m a never Trumper capitalist 100%.
