Joann Watson Steals From Detroit Then Laughs

"If anyone here in this circle received a bill and you've argued to pay more, just raise your hand."

-- Detroit City Councilwoman JoAnn Watson at a weekend news conference where she defended her failure to point out that the city had erroneously taxed her two-story home as a vacant lot for 10 years. Her request for a show of hands prompted laughter from her supporters.

Congratulations Detroit, you f-d yourselves up the ass again.

Keep voting scum like this into City Council and this is what you get.

Theft from the taxpayer at the highest levels of Detroit government.

Theft in in this amount anywhere else in the United States is a felony, not in Detroit.

This was not theft from Detroit and Detroiters by "the man", effects from white flight, envious scheming from the burbs...this is theft from your elected officials...read that again YOUR ELECTED officials.

Everyone around the metro Detroit area is decrying the impending seizure by the state of Michigan of the Detroit Public School system because Detroit government can't even supply toilet paper to it's students and everyone in Detroit is also lamenting the soon to be seizure of COBO Hall and the Detroit Auto Show because of mis-management and back at Detroit City Council its business as usual where over the past decade this old bag of ethics, JoAnn Watson is stealing right from your pocket Detroit..... go ahead...vote her in again, and again, and again.

Your city is in ruins around your feet from your elected officials theft, mis-managment and ineptness and your too stupid to realize the truth of it...that you could have voted them out decades ago.

JoAnn Watson, by stealing from YOU taxpayer, has managed to get her garbage picked up for $68 dollars a year in taxes among any other Detroit municipal services supplied and paid for by the taxpayers that she SELF ADMITTEDLY was aware of yet failed to come clean.

JoAnn's neighbors are paying upwards of $2500 a year in taxes, I wonder which way they will vote next election?

ON A LIGHTER NOTE: I love the irony that the guy in the photo above has a stop evictions and foreclosures shirt on behind JoAnn, shit if other Detroiters didn't have to pay taxes on their property they would never even need a rally for aid, just throw some of the money you stole back at these people's delinquent taxes JoJo, you could actually help Detroit and Detroiters by just being honest.

Imagine that.



Welcome To Detroit

GM and Chrysler leave thousands of destroyed lives in their wake

Chrysler dealer closures rip at fabric of communities

Redford - At Bruce Campbell Dodge, the voice mail of owner Bruce Campbell greeted callers thusly:

"It is a thrilling Thursday here in remarkable Redford."

On a day that Campbell and 38 other Chrysler dealerships in Michigan learned they were no longer wanted by the company, the greeting may have been the only positive note.

And it wasn't just the sellers of autos who were hurting.

Communities where the dealers have been fixtures, some for more than a half century, wondered how they will fill the holes that will be left when the businesses close.

Can you hear the doors slamming America?

Did you hear that first shoe fall?

This is a signal that will reverberate with unemployment across the country.

And Why?

The PT Cruiser sold so many units that you could hardly turn your head without seeing one on the road, that was just a few short years ago.

GM was the largest automaker in the world.

How bad of a CEO/COO/Etc., do you have to be to get from prosperity to bankruptcy?

I can tell you why in one two words. I can summarize what all the analysts and commentators cannot encapsulate with hours jabbering about what if, and should of, could of, would haves....what the top 1% of executive talent could never seem to fathom.

Two words.

Incompetence and Greed.

Both words practiced ad nausea by every major auto companies' upper echelons for decades while Detroit and the country were squeezed for every dollars' worth that faulty products, lack luster design and shoddy manufacture could muster.

They sold millions of cars, MILLIONS, the US auto companies had a virtual monopoly on the automotive market for nearly a century across the entire planet and what did they accomplish?

Nothing.

No energy advances worth mention, no remarkable advances in any of the technology involved. The advent and incorporation of computers into cars did more than any automaker did to change the face of the industry.

All the auto companies did was incorporate other advances and others' inventions into a 100 year old business model that remained unchanged during that whole time.

Black ink and profit margins for shareholders were their only concerns for decades.

And now they fail.

The auto companies are falling apart at the seams and they want the very customer and employee base they took advantage of for nearly a century to pay for it.

I say let them fail.

Let incompetence and greed reap what it has sown.

The collapse of the US auto industry will be felt across the country with slow reverberations of unemployment and economic despair for decades.

But we should just take this bitter pill and get it over with.

Let new companies with forward ideals and justifiable business ethics take their place, it is economic evolution in motion and it shouldn't be stopped.
