SOCIALISM AT ITS BEST or "Worst?"

With Barrack Hussein Obama, his socialist Harvard educated cabal and the liberty and freedom hating democrats in congress are and have managed to take from the working class and bring them down to the level of the poorest. They have not brought the poorest up to the level of the middle class.

Five years ago we moved into a fairly new home in a very nice well cared for neighborhood.
This is in the eastern part of Mesa, Arizona. At that time the homes were selling for between $400,000.00 and $550,000.00. We had a 7 year old elementary school which managed to stand on its own.

Within three years we began to notice that home after home was being put up for sale. Two years ago homes were starting to stand empty. People were walking away from their homes, unable to make their payments. Either they were forced to take pay cuts or were terminated from their jobs. $500,000.00 homes were in foreclosure and auctioned off under $125,000.00.

The lawns and gardens began to wither in the Arizona heat and sun. The school became a "Title One School". For those of you who do not know what a "Title One School" is I will try and explain (through gritted teeth).

Title One Schools are those which have a higher percentage of children from low income families. Thus, they qualify for free breakfasts, free lunches, more federal money to give away free pencils, free notebooks, free erasers, new computers, etc., etc. You get the idea.

Now we have houses in this once very nice neighborhood being rented to people who don't water their yards, let their pit bulls bark twenty four hours a day, do not speak English as a first language if at all, park seven or eight cars in the driveway, on the street or edge of the lawn.

Well done.
