I notice my mayor De Blasio in the thick of things.

That's where we are here on Topeka. Average wage keeps decreasing, high end stores like Macy's just cannot survive, while they keep building more Wall Marts, four now, in a city of 125,000 people that cannot even support a Macy's.
The Kansas art commissioner asked me earlier this year why I no longer involve myself in local art fairs. I told her it's because this is a wall mart town and wall mart people don't buy art that isn't from China.
And since taxes on the middle class keep rising and rising while they eliminate taxes on the rich, Kansas has no where to go but down.
