The Democrats have been promoting slavery as a good thing since the country was founded. Since the Civil War they have disguised it. They keep telling poor people that they will solve the problem of being poor. When elected, they do nothing but siphon wealth from the public trough. They keep the poor enslaved to their never-ending promises.
Baltimore is not the only city suffering from this malady. Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago and others have the same problem.
Socialism has never worked in the history of the planet. However, it is a good way to enslave people.
