Reply #12: Economics of NO 101

[DeltaLady]

The economy of New Orleans depended upon a large underclass of working poor. They cleaned the hotels and office buildings, worked as aides in hospitals and nursing homes, cooked in kitchens with high ticket menus, waited on tables, drove buses, etc. In order for the elite to prosper, they must have a return of this "working class"; invisible folks who took care of their every need without so much as a thank you or livable wage. I laugh at those elites in uptown who thought when the minority population was driven out of the city that they would have utopia. I wonder how "Mr. Uptown" who hired Isreali mercenaries to guard his house is making out. No maids to clean his oversized mansion; no poolman to tend to his pool and gardens; it must be ghastly! It's called karma and I hope their bloodsucking "won't lift a finger except for a manicure" trophy wives decide this "new order" is the pits and decide to take their "hubbies" to the cleaners.
There must be incentives for the working class to return, and since the government isn't providing any, guess who will be paying the freight for new housing for the working poor? They will have to give and give a lot before they can think of returning to their posh lifestyles.
Typical neocon trash, with the inability to think ahead and plan; shortsighted, heartless, hopeless excuses for human beings.
