The cities are where the poor go - that is where all the social service agencies are located (unless we're talking about the Hasidic Jews who have a very high poverty rate). That is why they have problems. How is that "backed into a corner"?
So what is the GOP's stance on raising the minimum wage? Can someone be "successful" working 40 hours per week and making minimum wage?
I'm "successful" and the GOP left me.
Tell us more how the Tea Party and the "Black community" should be natural allies - this should be funny.

No,they went back to work. And no one accuses Clinton of lacking compassion.
"The cities are where the poor go - that is where all the social service agencies are located (unless we're talking about the Hasidic Jews who have a very high poverty rate). That is why they have problems."
I grew up poor. I knew lots of poor people. We didn't live the way people live in these cities, it's almost a 3rd world situation. It's more than poverty, it's a breakdown in culture. Nice dodge.
"what is the GOP's stance on raising the minimum wage?"
The GOP's stance is this (and why don't you know this?) - not every job in our economy is designed to be able to support a family on. The GOP's stance is that the solution here, is to give people the skills and tools they need to climb the ladder, not to artificially designate the economic value of a job (though I'm OK with raising the minimum wage a bit). We can't pay busboys $35k a year just because we think it's just to do so.
"I'm "successful" and the GOP left me."
How, specifically? What does the GOP stand for today, that it didn't stand for 20 years ago?
"Tell us more how the Tea Party and the "Black community" should be natural allies "
Here's how - more accurately "why" - they should be allies - the Tea Party wants all black people to be rich - on their own, that is. The liberals want to keep them addicted to welfare. The Tea Party agenda is a game plan for how huge numbers of impoverished blacks can become self-sufficient. It's not complicated, Paul.
