[quote=Anonymous]Because the "old guard" still runs the city. Marion Barry may be dead, but his legacy continues. DC government is rife with corrupt officials and patronage positions. I'm liberal, but DC is a great example of the pitfalls of extreme liberalism. Too many people live here knowing full and well that their existence will be taxpayer-subsidized (housing, childcare, healthcare transit fees...) and that they won't have to work as hard or as seriously as those who foot the bill. I work in healthcare and people (support staff and patients) openly talk about themselves or others they know exploiting their children or loved ones so that they can get their benefit checks. I've lived all over the country (California, the Deep South, New York), but nowhere has class, wealth, and race been so touchy as DC.[/quote]
