Very good point.

It's mind-boggling how [non-rich] conservatives are so afraid to increase taxes on the rich when it's been proven that the wealth gap is getting larger and the wealthy have generally been the only group to recover from the recession. Most of people have this false notion that they will one day be rich when in reality that's extremely unlikely so they are afraid to make high income people pay more. Corporate manipulation and brainwashing at it's finest.

Even if you look at community property value histories during the recession; poor&working class communities took the biggest dive and generally have still not recovered at all; while high income/upper middle class communities took a notable dive too(though still not nearly as big) but now have generally fully recovered and some have even gained more equity than they did pre-recession.

You can actually view property value history on city-data.com and you can see for yourself by comparing a low income town with a high income town in your area and see how they fared. Chances are they will play out like I have mentioned.

It's not mind-boggling, it's mind control……..

So gentrification is going on, in NYC, Chcago, LA, Phillie every major city in the nation cause WE see it that way but White corpoarations see it as real estate bargains!

The Only brainwashing is that we do not see that in out own neighborhoods



This is where the Black community national Black community needs to stop talking about this "whoa is me" crap that White liberals want us to Kumbaya with them about!

Malcolm X told us in 64 that we should have a ten billion dollar Black Agenda Lobby in DC so we buy politicians just like anyone else!

And if we followed what Garvey, Elijah and he said about Black Nationalism after that first 4 years of that idiot Bush, we would not be pity partying democracy, with some White man, or worrying about a government shut down, or the impending cuts that will come from the new Republican administration in 2016
