Chicago, The Bloody City
UPDATE Jan 30 2013: Chicago tied a decade long murder rate at over 40+ people murdered in January, including a 15 year old girl that performed at the Obama Inauguration. Chicago has a SEVERE violence issue.
================================
While Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago, has a love affair with President Obama and keeps being called in to advise him, violence in Chicago Illinois stays at a record levels. Yet for some reason the fact that this Mayor cannot find a way to make his own city safe allows him to speak for the Nation. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws of any city in the United States, yet its murder rate from firearms is through the roof, why? Simple answer, urban violence. This is what liberals seem to want to overlook because it would point to the fact that socialistic policies of attempting to use broad strokes to pull everyone in poverty, out of it, results in dependency, lack of accountability and thus crime and violence. It has very little to do with access to firearms from legal, law abiding citizens.
This is the issue, societal change. Change here is what we need, accountability at the lowest level. We cannot, as a society, continue to hold the supposedly 'less-fortunate' to zero accountability for their own lives. This over-dependance Nation was created nearly entirely out of a progressive mindset, whereby somehow you bring people up by bringing others down. What this paradigm assumes is that ALL are giving EQUAL.
If we wish to really change this Nation and reduce poverty and crime, we must look at holding those at fault accountable and demanding this Nations citizens, work. Instead of spending money on a lost cause, such as Welfare, we should provide a National occupation - Unions should love this. Create the capacity to provide work. There are literally thousands of men/women needed to support the rebirth of the US infrastructure, put these "welfare" and "jobless" to work. America is already spending hundreds of millions on foodstamps, welfare, etc. why not get something out of it?
