Yes, and all those kids in the street hold not a lick of sway or power over the democrat machine that runs Boston. They're in bed tight with GE now, having lured them away from Dannel Malloy's execrable taxes, and no amount of sign waving will do a thing. I can imagine all kinds of slimy sweetheart deals, with the kind of money we're talking about.
Speaking as an outsider--one who was born and raised way far outside the arena of political corruption and favoritism--I must say it's always mystified me, the way people in such places seem to accept it; it's almost as if they don't mind being stolen from.
Worse than that, it's almost as if they think the bosses
deserve all they can steal, and if they can get away with stealing even more, well, good for them.
And they don't see that every dollar that's swiped by some Dem boss is a dollar less that's available for the poor. They just think that other people should have to pay more, so that the bosses and the poor both should be accommodated.
<<<am totally flummoxed by the complacency of the sheep who live in blue areas, and vote blue.
