Freedom in Atlanta

Feel free to ignore the racist headline and instead focus on what the article actually talks about. Then watch the reaction of the socialist left in Atlanta.

There is a county that's absolutely enormous. It has almost a million people. Many of the people in the county feel that the county government is not responsive to them, so they want to split the county into two counties where EVERYONE gets more responsive government.

As it always happens everywhere in the world, however, like people live near one another. So if this split manages to happen, one county will have people who work and earn money, while one county will have a lot of lazy bastards that don't work. That's why there's complaining. But it's interesting to see the complaints of those in the lazy section, freely admitting that they are living off the back of those in the rich section.

If you take that money out of their coffers, human services will suffer greatly

In other words, "We won't have the cash from the workers who are working in the north to give away to these lazy bums in the south who aren't working. What are these poor bums supposed to do, work themselves?"
In addition, some warn that a breakup of Fulton could harm Atlanta's international reputation as a progressive city and hurt its appeal as a business, entertainment and convention destination.

Translation: "We won't have all that free cash from those working people to spend on businesses, entertainment, and conventions that are incapable of actually generating money. Instead, we will only have businesses, entertainment, and events that people will actually pay to see instead of the ones we liberals want to force everyone to support.
Critics of a split also worry about the future of Grady Memorial Hospital and the Atlanta area's MARTA commuter-rail system _ both of which have contracts with the county.

Translation: "All that money from the north is the only thing that allows us to run the MARTA system so that our bums can continue to have free transportation so they can continue to move around and not work. If that money leaves the county, our unemployed bums would be unable to ride the free trains around to see their unemployed friends."

Folks, despite what you see and read, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with race. Instead, this is about socialism. This about about the lazy, good-for-nothing moochers complaining because their cash cow is threatening to take their hard work and labor and leave the moochers to fend for themselves. The only bad news is that this is highly likely to not pass because of whiny Democrats in the state house.
