Here is a list of the cities with the highest poverty rates in the USA that I found on the internet. Based on what I can recall, the list looks like it is correct. I suppose there could be an argument about whether the cities are poor because they are governed by Democrats, or if the people elect Democrats because they are poor. In either event Democrats have not helped the people in those cities. I think Democrats are poised to bring the entire nation to the state of the poor cities by instituting the socialistic welfare programs that have failed.
