A Detroit City budget deficit does not cause an emergency to the public health, welfare and safety

The Michigan Dictator law (receivership law) rationalizes imposing a dictator a city or a town based an alleged emergency to the public health, welfare and safety due to a budget deficit. However, a municipal budget deficit does not remove critical city services from the People. The deficit or fiscal stress causes a threat to the revenue streams that Wall Street sucks like blood as a vampire from the working class' wealth, but not to the well being of the great mass of the People. A moratorium on payments to Wall Street on municipal bonds would go a long way toward keeping full pay, benefits and pensions to city workers and retirees; (and a moratorium on mortgage foreclosures and payments would keep tens of millions of dollars in the hands of the working class in Detroit). It is to keep the People's money flowing to Wall Street and the Big Banks that the State tells the Big Lie that it must impose a tyrant on the City. It must tell this Big Lie to justify the UnAmerican act of stealing a City population's fundamental democratic power to choose on its own the officials to control the City's wealth, assets, wages, benefits and pensions, and all that is valuable to the People's municipal corporation. The State is training a corps of financial gestapo (so-called emergency financial managers), all imbued with the money-drunk philosophy of business accounting, Wall Street technical minions to shift wealth from the working masses and their local government to the finance capital and Big Business.

This was the purpose of a State taking over the Detroit Public Schools (DPS) when there was  billion dollar bond sale years ago. This was the purpose in imposing the Dictator on DPS more recently: to take the People's money and give it to private enterprises, and crony capitalists. The DPS dictatorship is a pilot program, a test of the reaction of the People of Detroit as to how they will react to a dictatorial seizure of the City government. There have been insufficient  mass protests against the DPS dictatorship to deter a dictatorship over Detroit. So, the Powers-that-be are moving quickly to seize Detroit.

Only a protracted mass movement of militant protest, state initiative and referendum petitions and election victories, recall petitions and election victories, of the Governor in the first place,; and election votes with a tremendous increase in voter turnout, in Detroit in the first place, will stop the fascist-like attack from the tea-Republicans and their Wall street and Big Business masters. See you at the April 4 and April 13 protests. All Power to the People! Speak Power in the Streets!
