Only the top 5% think we have a recovering economy. The rest of America is suffering. Some like our inner cities disproportionately because those cities saw their major employers move over seas leaving behind hundreds of thousands of skilled but suddenly unemployable people. The people who could fled those cities to places where they could find jobs. Leaving behind cities filled with high paying governments employees ( city employees, police, fire, teachers, road workers, the list goes on and on.) and poverty level populations that are somehow supposed to support them. 

While over all crime rates might be declining. There is no doubt that the massive gang violence in our inner cities must be addressed now. As must an immigration crisis that brings untold numbers of illegals into our already taxed communities everyday. Illegals that our communities are told we must take care of, before even our own. 

America is very much in crisis, and if you do not see that, you are the problem.
