We all know about how liberals killed all the formerly-great Michigan cities through a combination of bowing to union thuggery, incorporating anti-business policies, and levying obscenely confiscatory taxes.
Our liberal friends in Vellejo, California have done them one better. From Down with the Drive-By's:
The main cause of Vallejo's financial is that they have followed the Democratic playbook to the letter. Anti-military, anti-business, anti-industry, and pro-union policies have led to Vallejo's downfall, and now, other cities across the country will be watching this town's bankruptcy proceedings very closely.
Check out the link for a great, cautionary story about the dangers of screwing with Wal-Mart. Vellejo made the mistake of preventing the Greatest Store in the History of the World from opening shop in its town. The town is now bankrupt. The town up the road, which happily accepted the Gift From God that is Wal-Mart, is booming.
One year after the opening of the Wal-Mart Supercenter in American Canyon, business is good for the retail giant according to store manager Mike Sellick.
“We’ve exceeded all our (sales) goals,” Sellick said last week.
Mayor Leon Garcia pointed to the burgeoning growth of retail in American Canyon, and associated sales tax revenue, as a big reason for the city’s financial stability.
“It’s huge,” Garcia said of the store’s economic impact. “Development of Napa Junction took off, consequently we’re on an even keel. We’re on sound footing as a result.”
RIP Vallejo libtards.
