To be fair, in my city (Montevideo, Uruguay), government has made a strong effort to spend on poorer areas.
The problem is, most of the money (a staggering 80%) goes to pay salaries !!! They aren't helping the poor or the rich, they're helping themselves.
- mtanski 10y agoThat's not just a problem in your location but a lot of other places. Many municipalities and some states in the US made unsustainable promises to their employees in forms future salaries (pensions). Except instead of doing 80% today, they are doing 80% in the future.
