From Charles Barkley's book, "I May Be Wrong, but I Doubt It"
Quote:
Just about every every single person in my hometown is a Democrat. And they are living exactly the same way they lived when I left there 20 years ago. Their lives have not been financially improved in any substantial way in all that time. My high school, Leeds High School, is closing. And the whole area has been vacated. Their lives are not any better.
I asked my mother and grandmother about why things never got any better under politicians that ran things for so many years, and they kept voting for 'em. And they'd say, "We're Democrats." And I'd say, "Why? All these people vote this way every single election and things are still the same." What did they do in exchange for all that loyalty for all those years? I don't see any new economic opportunities in my hometown.
