Kevbeau Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 That is one of the most brazenly exploitive things I've ever seen. Hell, Georgia used to have the "Change Game." Didn't even need a whole dollar to get in on the lottery. The running commentary is that they needed a way to tax the homeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Lots of comparisons to Buffalo, but is western new York really doing that bad? I don't think so Look, it's gone beyond the pale when we have Democrats like Bob Beckel talking about the Feds going in and taking over Detroit, by force if necessary, because it's dragging down the rest of the country(and his party, which he conveniently left out). When even he is saying stuff like that, you know just how far we have come. As much as I disagree with any Federal organization doing such a thing, I also have to admit that this may be the only viable way to fix the problem. LBJ is perhaps the worst President we have had in terms of his long-term effect on the urban poor. The state of the entire rust belt is all the evidence we need.
