The 10 poorest Cities

Via Billy

The most recent Census has brought into focus some alarming and distressing data that should concern every American.  The ten poorest major cities of the U.S. were pinpointed and identified by the percentage of population below the federal poverty line.  First of all, is it ironic that while we hear so much from the media of how poor Appalachia and the south is, how poverty ridden areas of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are, that none of the ten poorest cities are located in the south or southeastern U.S?  

Perhaps the most telling correlation of this data reveals that ALL of the ten poorest cities historically have a Democratic Mayor and going back for decades.  These numbers reflect the ten poorest cities by percentage rank and the political party in power"
