All over America, formerly prosperous communities are being transformed into crime-infested wastelands of poverty and despair. Of course the most famous example of this is Detroit. At one time, Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city that the world had ever seen and it had the highest per capita income in the entire country. But now it […]
On December 7th, nearly 100 state legislators, many distinguished, representing 32 states, assembled at Mount Vernon.
