Reply to comment by Mcjibblies in Temple holds safety town hall after student attacked near campus by redeyeblink

Lol Temple is pretty much the only form of investment in the neighborhood, it brings an extra police force, better security measures, restaurants and jobs. Not to mention a large hospital network and other benefits such as a dental school that routinely provide free and affordable checkups to community residents

Look up Temple University 990.

Understand what’s in this document.

When you do, then we can discuss how over and extended period of time, having the largest employer in a few neighborhoods only contribute to the region with lower wage jobs rather than their fair amount of taxes would erode the systems that prop it up.

This is the crux of the matter. Not whatever you’re saying.

But are low wage jobs somehow worse than no jobs? Because that’s the alternative

So, the largest employer along broad street, by far, has not paid taxes since at least 1954.

You gotta come correct. Trickle down has been proven time and time again to not work.

UChicago business school has literally screwed the entire country into believing taxes are bad, then raise them high enough in the surrounding areas so that poorer people can’t move into them and enjoy the benefits that higher taxes offer.
