Right-wingers bankrupt Detroit so they can steal pensions

First, fascist Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan placed control of the city of Detroit under an unelected emergency manager - stripping the mayor and other elected officials of all their powers.

Then - after the emergency manager law was repealed in a referendum - the scuzzos in the state legislature passed the emergency manager law anew.

Now the state-appointed emergency manager is filing for bankruptcy - making Detroit the largest American city ever to go bankrupt. Detroit never had to file for bankruptcy until the incompetent idiots in the Snyder administration mismanaged it. But the more important point is that now the city may be absolved of having to pay the pensions of municipal workers.

The unelected manager declared bankruptcy so the city wouldn't have to pay workers what the city owes? That's commonly known as theft. Indeed, the Michigan Constitution unambiguously protects public pensions - but Snyder's band of clowns just ignores it.

Kleptocracy is how the Michigan GOP - like the Republicans in every state - governs.
