No, Milwaukee KNOWS how to segregate!

An old, ultra-Conservative Korean War veteran of 1870s German ancestry once told me what the greatest "Liberal Democratic sin" was. It was NOT:
- Affirmative Action
- Equal Opportunity Employment
- School Integration
- Fair Housing Act
- Food Stamps or other welfare
- (refundable) Earned Income Tax Credit
Yes, Conservatives call them all bad, but not as bad as taking "poor people" and spread their housing all over our cities. His steadfast belief was that the poverty-poor should be kept concentrated in a place where they have little contact with people who work unassisted for their American lifestyle.

While most anyone will say that "poor" was dog-whistle talk for "people who should be kept poor", a polite way to say people of non-white color. By saying "poor", he also intended to say that those non-whites who managed to "earn" their way out of the ghetto and are able to support a life even more costly than people of "white privilege" should be allowed to stay in wealthy areas of their own, at least until their own money runs out.

I am sure that wherever Walker lives, he will be protected and insulated from "the poor". He may even choose to stay in Milwaukee area because it is still cheaper than living in the good parts of Chicago, New York, LA, or any true wealth-friendly metro area.
