DetroitPropTaxRate.jpg
Why are all the people leaving Detroit? Gee, maybe it has something to do with property tax rates which are the highest of the nation’s 50 largest cities and more than twice the average.

But according to Progressive economics, higher tax rates lead to higher tax revenues; thus, Detroit should be the richest city in the world. There can be no fault in Progressive economic theory, so therefore…the Koch brothers stole all Detroit’s property tax receipts for the last 50 years.

Since the bankruptcy filing, the welfare recipients are migrating to other cities out of fear that their checks will be cut off.

No, no, no, no! It’s not high tax rates! It’s austerity and small government that are the cause! D’uh!

Look, if it ain’t bolted down, it gets stolen in Detroit. It needs to be allowed to rot.

They could remake “Robocop” without even needing to work on the location. It’s looking post-apocalyptic now. I’ve heard of no one moving TO Detroit – only away from it.

Looks like the commiecrats are finally beginning to notice a phenomenon known as ‘Plantation Flight”. All the liberal utopias are beginning to suffer from this affliction.
