@ScorpioPup You can thank the tax and spend Democrats - Philadelphia has a 4.5% wage tax and a 6.5% business privilege tax. Philadelphia had more than doubled its city workers of the past 40 years an lost over a million residents.

This is true of all cities which are currently bankrupt - Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, San Francisco - they are all deep blue union cities.

This is Philadelphia before the Democrats and the unions ruined it.

This should be the most influential area in the country, but we were punked out by Ny and LA.

NAFTA is only the latest attack on America's cities. It all started after WWII with the increasing number of cars and decreasing amount of public transit, resulting in the flight to suburbia. Cities can't thrive when a large percentage of the citizens flee.
