Chicago, where the rich live 30 years longer than the poor

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...est-news-life-expectancy-rich-poor-inequality

In rich white Streeterville, Chicagoans can expect to live to 90. In poor black Englewood, it’s just 60 – the most divergent of any US city
================================================================

The Leftists / Democrats have set up their elite, 2 class citizenry. This is how they want it nation wide, where the elite lord over the masses. There will be less and less elite as most cannot afford it and will move out, but those that stay will be the preferred class. This is how it works in Leftist "Utopia", where the poor find it hard to locate a piece of fruit and the elite are kings and queens. This is coming to other major Blue state strong holds in time. California cities are well on their way.

 

What is the conservative solution?

 

The toll roads in and out of the city make it almost impossible to live cheaper outside the city, and commute.

 

Equal opportunties...less a culture of dependence.


What we see in Chicago is the Progressive Utopia.

 

Simple.... Quit enabling the culture by continuing to offer them gifts from the government teat. Rather than giving them more welfare, give them the skills to advance. The ole adage of "give a man a fish, he eats for the night. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a life time."

 

income disparity is higher in leftist cities.

 

I have a feeling the rich, in lots of places, live quite a bit longer than the poor???Don't think it's unique to Chicago.

 

The story of California too. Massive wealth and massive servitude. They bus in the paupers to do their laundry and serve their meals. This is the lefts plan for the entire USA if they get their way. It's just a shame they have fooled their voters into thinking it will help them. The left ruin things, then need more of our money to fix, ruin it more, need more money, repeat.

 

Get rid of liberalism and watch it work.

 

Leftist ideology eliminates the Middle Class. It's the reason for the mass exodus out of California, Illinois, New York and other very "Blue" states.

Leftists are 100% AGAINST the Middle Class. They want the elite and the poor and that's it.

 

That is by design. They are starting to put toll roads all over California where we already pay a fortune at the pump for the roads, yet here we are with the 405 Freeway between Orange County and Lost Angeles to become a toll road as well. You want to get to the Desert? Sit in traffic, or use the 91 Toll Road lane... right next to the traffic jam. It's all a game by Leftists once they are in power. Eliminate the Middle Class. That is their goal.

 

To get the Big Government out of our lives. To quit eliminating the Middle Class as their destruction is in full swing in: Illinois, California, New York, and other "Dark Blue" states. You haven't figured out yet that your ideology is all about destroying the Middle Class? Did you really not know? Tell me where the Middle Class thrives in a Dark Blue state?

 

To disarm and rule by making everything mandatory or banning it. You will live how they say, because they are far more superior, they have been educated at the finest liberal colleges, where free speech does not exist, where the threat of another point of view has been eliminated, where the elite cry for equality thru the socialist dream, as they have and the others do not. How people still can't see through this is unbelievable.

 

The left are happy to bus them in, FREE. Free transit will only cost their check but again, the left know better than anyone else where your money should go.

 

Less obesity, more personal responsibility, less drug abuse, and wiser health decisions being made by poor people.

 

None of the typical lefties replying in here I see...it must be tough for them to answer when there is logic involved

 

The truth is liberal kryptonite. I guess if there was a liberal superman but we know that can't be the case. Maybe a super-tranny or something.

 

the President is fixin' to declare freedom for the slaves on the leftist welfare plantation in the blue states on July 4th, its going to be great!

 

There are four things destroying the middle class, and I'll rank them in order of what I think are the biggest factors: automation, trade deals, drug addiction, and wealth concentration. When it comes to automation, there's nothing anyone can do. Both sides have screwed the middle class over on trade. Both sides are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies.

The starkest divide between the two parties is on wealth concentration. The GOP want to give the rich tax breaks, the Dems want to tax them. Although this is starting to change. Tucker Carlson is hugely influential and doesn't like the super-rich anymore than Warren or Bernie.

As far as California's middle class goes, California has one of the highest median incomes in the country.

 

And how do you propose that? The public school system sucks, and college/universities are too expensive. So how do you GIVE them the skills to advance?

 

Stop feeding them and giving them housing.
The problem will solve itself in a few years

 

Life is so hard,......
If you're that inept, auto purge your gene pool

 

And they can still barely afford to live

 

It depends where you are. I'm a teacher, live in the desert, and have no trouble making ends meet. Not everyone in California lives in San Fran.

 

Similar to the new deal under FDR. We have an infrastructure problem in this nation and rather that arbitrarily giving people financial aid with no return, we put them to work doing public work projects. They can learn valuable skills from masonry to accounting to architecture. Did it not work in the 30's?
