The Voice of Privilege

Some people throw around accusations of racism with wild abandon. While that was my first impression at Cincinnati Mayor, John Cranley's latest statements about immigration, I am not sure if it might just be classism.
From the 'Warp:

If you're fleeing political persecution anywhere in the world, we want you here. Cincinnati has a lot of older, blighted housing that immigrants could rehab and settle in. I would love to take advantage of that as a community redevelopment tool.

Be a tool, come live in Cincinnati's slums.
He also mentions luring wealthy people with handouts.
Cranley is finally being the wealthy corporatist Democrat he purported to be with this cynical elitist plan - the commoditization of people as tools and the handouts of other people's money…
I have said before, we need to sell foreign investors on the city's assets but all Cranley has to offer are freebies & cast offs.
