Can I ask you an honest question? What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this post? Are you looking to participate in an honest debate with an open mind or are you just looking to put some noses out of joint?

Also, do you have any proof that these poor areas would be more successful under Republicans? It takes a lot more to turn around a deeply deprived area than just voting in the party which is most aligned with your interests. The democrats can't just click their fingers and double or triple the resources that are likely needed to bring education, social services etc. etc. to a reasonable level...

And I'm not American but I'm pretty sure if you're a convicted felon you lose the right to vote - so your suggestion that the Dem's want to keep people poor, which will inevitable lead to a good portion of them going to prison seems ill-thought out...

2. Could these areas get any worse? Gang violence, homelessness, junkies shooting up in the streets, human shit everywhere... You can't compare Republican areas to those controlled by Democrats.

Have you been to any of these supposed hell holes? I've lived in Milwaukee for 7 years, worked in Detroit for a year and I don't remember ever seeing human shit let alone was it "everywhere". 

To be honest, your concerns about cities sound like someone who has lived on a farm their entire life and only heard about the terrifying cities from their family. Cities are pretty good, they just have more problems due to population density. You get that many people together in a small space and you're going to have problems.
