There’s been lots of stats lately showing that for all the talk and reporting of NYC crime, Republican-controlled states have a way higher violent crime rate per capita. Of course NYC will have more incidents of crime than a place like Fort Worth since there are way more people. But on a per capita basis, NY is as safe or safer than republican states, especially regarding violent crime and homicide. It’s just that republican media and politicians are good at this narrative. See for your self and let us know what you find.
And as Reb Eliezer alludes to, there are a lot of programs and policies supported by democrats that pro-republican folks take for granted. In addition, democrats pushed or support the 5-day work week, protection from discrimination in the workplace, and equal pay for women, to name a few. Maybe we think some of these go to far, but should a YWN reader be happy that his hard-working wife would make less than a man? Should it be OK to fire someone for wearing a yarmulke? This is a sampling of issues republicans try to role back.
