I don’t fit in well with either of the major U.S. political parties. I certainly have opinions which favor one side or the other, but overall consider myself somewhat middle-leaning with a tendency towards libertarianism. I nevertheless found this editorial observation by Glenn Beck interesting on the top ten poorest American cities.
On a related note, I’m reminded of a former Soviet teacher I had in college who shared many thought provoking stories, including the observation, “In the Soviet Union we were all equal…ly poor.”
