According to delusional Melissa Harris-Perry Detroit is what
it looks like when government is small enough to drown in your bathtub. Wrong this is what it looks like when 1 in 66 residents are on the public payroll. The largest employer in Detroit is not GM, Ford, or Chrysler. It is the city of Detroit. The second largest employer is the public school system.
Harris-Perry went on to claim that “this lack of tax base is also exactly the thing that many Republicans would impose on us even when our cities have sufficient populations.” Except they didn't. Louis Miriani served as mayor from 1957 until 1962. He was the last Republican to be elected to that office.
The problem that Harris-Perry and the left have with Detroit's bankruptcy is that the era of big government is over, at least as far a the Motor City is concerned. It collapsed under its own weight.
