What were the major contributing factors that put Detroit on a path to bankruptcy? Decades of Democrat rule? Political corruption run amok? Irresponsible borrowing and spending leading to $14 billion in debt? The era of so-called “white flight” during Coleman Young’s mayoral tenure?
None of the above, according to Salon:

Read the article if you like, but fair warning:
@pipandbaby It really isn't worth your time to read the article. They whine about not paying "corporate taxes." It's typical stupidity.
