When you promote corruption and organized crime like the GQP does, you get it at all levels.

No surprise that criminals have developed better, faster thieves. The corrupted are just pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps.

There are so many poor folks and so few good jobs, that criminal organizations seem to offer a solution. Especially if your leaders are obviously on the take.

We are at an all time high for homelessness. And if you think the unemployment rate is an indicator of a strong job economy, I ask you to remember that immediately before the 2008 crash, the unemployment rate was only 4 to 5 percent.
