INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY: Government Motors Is Alive And Detroit Is Dead. “In the face of government incompetence, it was the people of Detroit who went on strike. Detroit lost a quarter-million residents between 2000 and 2010. A population that in the 1950s teemed with 1.8 million is struggling to stay above 700,000. Much of the middle-class and scores of businesses also have fled, taking their tax dollars with them.”

Obviously, we need a law making it illegal to move without government permission.
