Shootings and other violent crimes are down sharply. Gang membership is unchanged. Drug use is up for all races. Abortions have hit a new low. Edit: and inflation adjusted "black" household disposable income is up over 60 years.
so now there is inflation? Abortions have hit a new low what does that mean? I would like to see a link to your stats... just to make sure. maybe you could tell Farrakhan he is wrong and things are much better since Obama took over even though everyone knows otherwise.
If I was Trump I would sit down with Farrakhan and ask his advice on controlling inner city violence. What's the downside, that George Will might not approve?
Blacks underperform in every metric ricter. And in some areas, horribly. Shall we continue to pretend the problem doesn't exist ? Or shall we fix the problem ?
I have never said there wasn't. I disagree with your "crazy inflation" routine, though. Besides, you never acknowledge wage inflation.
of course I acknowledge wage inflation. I was a kid in the 70s and I know how much my dad made then and I know how much he made in the 90s. There was pretty big wage inflation. But that does not excuse the 700 percent inflation and progressive taxes. You have to make great investments time after time to stay ahead of that kind of systemic inflation. Eventually all but the elite familes with their tax shelters have to sell of the assets their families created and owned... as the elites gather in the assets and the politicians. that is the biggest problem with inflation. it crushes individuals with fixed incomes and coupled with progressive taxation... it creates a barrier to competition for assets and politicians.
