I received the following information in an email:

What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?
 

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961; 


Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati , OH (3rd)...since 1984;

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still disadvantaged...
