Reply from myself, a real Christian who understands the world:

The cities you talk of are all controlled by Democrats and their 'spread the wealth' government philosophy.

Government doesn't create wealth, and it doesn't spread it around. It creates an environment where people have no incentive to create wealth hence depressing the economy in general and it keeps people - like those in Democrat-controlled inner cities - in bondage to government handouts, reinforcing every bad aspect of human nature.

America doesn't work the way Euros or anybody else in the world thinks it should work. America became great by unleashing the creativity, invention, and entrepreneurialism of individuals. Low taxes bring MORE into the treasury because the economy grows. (Unfortunately then liberals in Washington - Democrats and Republicans - just spend more.) When individual Americans decide what they do with their money it goes to better use than when the government makes the decisions. It is better for everybody. Americans create jobs not the government.

America has always been a free market economy. Free markets 'spread the wealth around' and does it with infinite more practical wisdom and usefulness than any government or bureaucrat could on even his best superman bureaucrat day.

The current problem with the economy is due to government intervention and social engineering, when they pronounced that banks *must* make sub-prime loans. That is not how a free market works. That is government screwing it up as government always screws things up.

Rich people don't put their money in their mattresses. They invest it. This is 'spreading the wealth.' What Obama is talking about is confiscating wealth and putting it to use for socialist government purposes which do nothing but keep people in dreary and sick and evil bondage to the government.

America is different for a reason. We have had to fight the forces of darkness from within and without from the beginning, and despite all that America has succeeded and been the light of the world. God bless America.
