How Norfolk, Virginia Is Using Tax Breaks to Demolish Black Neighborhoods - Bloomberg
Americans hate the poor - it's so hard to believe anyone still dismisses that fact, despite the overwhelming evidence, but they do.
The US collectively hates the poor which is why there is so much policy aimed at destroying them.
Add brown or black to the equation and they might as well blow their head off at birth. White poor, just enjoy the scraps.
from same article said:Although it was enacted as part of President Trump’s controversial Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the provision enjoyed bipartisan support and bears the fingerprints of one of the economic advisers to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
in case anyone is wondering why I still have misgivings about Biden and haven't ruled out 'throwing my vote away' pm a third party. It's not a throwaway if you're voting against the 2-party backed corruption and policies that are exacerbating inequality and the marginalization of certain demographics. The fact that Biden would employ or befriend anyone supporting (let alone helping to design) 21st century versions of redlining and/or gentrification makes me believe that yes, he might actually be about as bad as Trump. He's just done a better job of speaking the woke and appearing to care about those he speaks for. Earlier I wondered if the DNC could benefit from having PR and optics as good as the GOP. Now I think I was wrong, they have FAR better and more effective optics and public relations than anything in the wildest dreams of the likes of Atwater and Rove.
And I will say again, if Biden and the dems wanted my support, they could've earned it. None of this bullshit about me being obligated to vote for him. If that's true, then he's obligated to earn it. So far he hasn't earned it. He's asked me to sign a one-sided contract, hoping I won't notice he didn't bring the lube, because I'm so fixated on the shitty contract the current president suckered everyone into signing.
