This Week's American Sh*thole Award Goes to Broward County and Palm Beach, Florida

Ed.'s note: Fort Lauderdale is President Trump's backyard and mostly controlled by Democrats. If you even discuss raising taxes in Palm Beach and Broward County, people living there go out of their minds. Palm Beach and Broward County are Trump's "home" and cost Americans $1 million per trip when Trump visits his private club Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach using the toilets between holes golfing with friends. It's not a money problem in Ft. Lauderdale. The city had the money to make the necessary repairs. What will happen now is the state and definitely the federal government will cough up the money to repair raw sewage leaking out of these sewage pipes. Tax cuts for big business is where most of the cash flow went in Fort Lauderdale. This isn't the first time either pipes have ruptured. This has happened repeatedly over the years even though this is the wealthiest place in Florida. Corporate welfare through tax breaks is what caused this and there is no point in complaining that this was caused by Democrats (binary mind f*ck) because the Republicans (binary mind f*ck) do the same thing. Americans are notoriously oblivious to how socialism (binary mind f*ck) works and what it means for people living in different parts of the world including for example in Venezuela.

Will a Trump Tax Cut (or Raise) Affect You in Broward and Palm Beach County?

Here's the bottom line: You cannot fund a country on income taxes, not when the country is in an estimated $23 trillion debt and people are at each other's throats. A country is financed by what it produces like from agriculture, oil and mining production with the proceeds from the sales, at least they should be used, to finance government. When you take taxes from private corporations to pay for this, Americans now find themselves like they are in Broward County with raw sewage spewing out all over the place. With an ever shrinking and intentionally destroyed middle class all across the globe, it will be impossible to finance infrastructure based on income taxes.

Every time Fort Lauderdale and Broward County attempt lowering taxes it fails without exception. There can be no solution when both the Democrats and Republicans are controlled by corporate mandarins. In Broward County their reasoning is why pay for something when you can get it free? What the locals did is allow this sewage system to collapse spewing shit all over the place threatening clean water availability creating this nightmare and are now clamoring for a federal bailout. Now we will see if President Trump will stick with his words as to being a "capitalist" or a "socialist." Trump needs to tell Fort Lauderdale they have the money so you fix your mess and its not the federal governments job to bail you out. Raise taxes or do whatever you need to do in Fort Lauderdale to fix this mess.

Fort Lauderdale mayor seeks state, federal aid after 211M gallons of sewage leaks from pipes into streets, drinking water

More than 200 million gallons of toxic sewage – enough to fill 320 Olympic-sized swimming pools – spilled into Fort Lauderdale's waterways over the past three months due to breaks in the city's aging pipe system, according to a report Monday.

More than 200 million gallons of toxic sewage – enough to fill 320 Olympic-sized swimming pools – spilled into Fort Lauderdale’s waterways over the past three months due to breaks in the city’s aging pipe system, according to a report Monday.

After the ninth and most recent break in the water main system since December, residents in the southern Florida coastal city last week were advised to boil water used for drinking, cooking and brushing their teeth for about nine days, the Miami Herald reported. A precautionary boil water notice, which took effect Feb. 8, was lifted Sunday when officials confirmed the water tested safe for use.

"Considering the extent of this pollution, we should be more than eligible for state and federal assistance," Mayor Dean Trantalis told the Sun-Sentinel. "We cannot suffer this burden alone."

About 127 million gallons of sewage spewed from six separate breaks in the pipe system into the Tarpoon River, the Himmarshee Canal and streets in three neighborhoods in December, the Sun-Sentinel reported. During a 10-period from Jan. 30 to Feb. 8, an additional 79.3 million gallons spilled into George English Lake, city officials reported to the Department of Environmental Protection. Then 5.4 million gallons of sewage flooded into streets near the park located by a major shopping mall.

Jeff Maggio, a local fisherman, told the Sun-Sentinel on Sunday he hasn't visited George English Park since Jan. 30 when sewage began surging out of a large pipe buried underwater.
