Here's another example of Democrats looking out for the little guy.
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- When Mayor Michael Brown envisions the future of this struggling city, he sees no poverty, no drug dealing, no prostitution -- and none of the 1,700 buildings where many of his poorest constituents live and work.
Up to 6,000 of Riviera Beach's 31,000 residents would be sent packing in the city's effort to revamp its marina district with condominiums, houses, shops, offices and yacht slips. To enraged owners of property slated for condemnation, Brown says the sacrifice is necessary for progress. "(Italian philosopher Niccolo) Machiavelli said it best -- the hardest thing to do is tosustain and change the order of things," Brown says. "I will use every ounce of energy I have to fight to make a better life for these people. There will be no more lower class."
"For all those who don't like it, tough."
Well, why didn't anyone think of this before? The way to get rid of poverty is to get rid of poor people! By the way, the mayor and the entire city council of Riviera Beach are Democrats -- and black. You'd think they'd have more empathy for poor folk.
