My biggest problems with the democrats are two-fold: First, they are inclined toward tyrannical policies geared at forcing people to do things for their special friends; and second, because they have their heads stuck so far up their political reality stars butts that they cannot see anything that does not involve Washington DC. While people are bellyaching a fictional "living wage", they are not doing anything to address the real world plight of the poor.
Why do we have to wait until after a slum house with 18 kids in it burns down to go after slum lords?
Today is another one of those days that reinforces by belief in how absolutely wrong the democrats are in trying to please their faux DC royalty. The story is pretty simple: poor area with a lot of pedestrian traffic but no infrastructure to support pedestrian traffic. 27 year old mother who had helped raise her own siblings and her 4 kids run over with her and 3 of her kids killed, and the 4th hospitalized, all in Philadelphia, all in a poor area, all in an area where the dangers were known to authorities who apparently did zero to try to improve the infrastructure or stop the drag racing.
Fatal crossing was not her usual path
If the democrats were as organized in addressing crap like this as they are in getting out the national vote or marching because of a trial in FL then maybe this woman and her kids would be alive today. Overhead crosswalks are not that freaking complicated or rare or unduly expensive.
