‘Tax Broke’ Baltimore’s Dirty Secret | Rattling the Bars

1. Well, you must start somewhere. City must revamp it's housing program

2. Is the actual documentary available anywhere yet?

3. How can I get a copy or stream the actual documentary?

4. The only problem with Baltimore is the same problem with Detroit Washington d.c. Long Beach every other City whose main demographic inhabitants have a culture of lawlessness abusiveness violence false victimhood and real racism. Any town is a reflection of the people who live in it

5. The parasites are amoral… better yet, they have the morality of… americans

6. Go Ravens! 💜 Go Orioles! 🧡

7. This city is a scam. Plane and simple. Stop voting for these scam artist.

8. Correct me if I'm wrong wasn't the Palosi Mob Gang in Baltimore it the 70's, what crime family is in Baltimore today

9. Port covington is the most successful sub community in Baltimore. I believe the future is self taxed jurisdictions.

10. Take care of public safety and the city won't have to give away the kitchen sink for development. BTW, you don't have to directly benefit from a development, if the city gets better as a whole, then it is a success.

11. They White ppl don't know shit bout Baltimore

12. I luv my city The good and the bad❤❤

13. "Act of 1871" That has been hidden from the American People. Please read it online or watch the video. May God Bless you all! 🙏

14. It's Alot of corruption in Maryland.. This state taxes and charges US So Much.. it's a Shame. Where does the $$$ Go..

15. I tried to follow along as best as I could, but this is just great to me. TIFS? Bonds? But for? Credits? Debt service, enterprise owned tax credit, PILOT? So what exactly is going on here and what is this “dirty secret“?

16. Put a squeegee boy in every corner and a gun if every youths hand.

17. The same thing has happened in every city I've lived in: Schenectady/Albany/Troy NY. Awful.

18. So, straight away, the host recites that Baltimore is where "the people hide their faces And they hide their eyes 'Cause the city's dyin', And they don't know why." Then they complain that tax money is being used to bring in something other than more violence, murder, squalor, unemployment, into a corpse of a city. The host admits that the Inner Harbor was once "cutthroat alley", where you were sure to be killed if you went there. Now it is a safe, prosperous, tourist area, but I guess all three guests prefer it the old way. Jane: people have to be bribed to invest in wretched Baltimore. Believe me, you are a complete fool if you don't think Mayor Bowser isn't in a full sprint to gentrify the entire district of Columbia, exactly how Baltimore is paying for development here. Do you think she believes enabling multiple generations of self-inflicted dysfunction, street violence, urban decay, is the way to bring the area forward? In America, there are always winners and losers, but according to the Nina Simone song Baltimore has been in a death spiral for generations, and the losers were the inhabitants of black neighborhoods.

19. Yet with this as common knowledge no riots at city hall

20. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌

21. Miller is a pitbull when it comes to investigative journalism. I've seen hundreds of construction projects in Baltimore and 90% of the workers are from south of the border.

22. Baltimore, I love you like I love an abusive parent.

23. Baltimore isn't the only City to see the Illegals move in followed by the Taxpayer Base leaving. Social Welfare benefits cost MONEY. Someone has to pay for them!! The Developers don't want to pay Taxes but they do want Tax Breaks. (Always making the false claim that they are Building the Economy). And the Political Wh#res? They bail out before the sh#t hits the Fan. Try this out. If the current Mayor of Baltimore's predecessor is still alive, check out his/her lifestyle. Their Bank accounts. Follow the MONEY.

24. Democrat run.

25. David Simon could make the subject sexy.

26. As soon as i seen Jayne Miller … i knew this was the real deal … Jayne don’t mess around … if you’re a lifetime Baltimorean (not a Canton , Fed Hill, Lower Fells, Locus Point, Hampden or JHU transplant or gentrifier) you know she has been doing stuff like this since the late 80s for Channel 11 here in Bmore

27. Baltimore is dying because u all keep voting Democrat,u got to be out of your minds to say capitalism is the reason for the drugs and unemployment ! Capitalism provides jobs and a meaningful income,Democrat politians have destroyed Baltimore City,u all keep voting for communist liars, the mayor is eating well! OMG quit with the Democrat bs all business owners are wealthy,when have u gotten a job from a poor person ? High taxes drive business out,simple economics!!!

28. I can’t wait to watch the documentary and see the excellent investigative reporting.

29. Great discussion! I would love to answer many questions as the city’s investor and on the behalf of developers.

30. Logan County Oklahoma used a TIF to get a much needed public sewer line under I-35 & Hwy 33. Ask the people at the Golden Chick/Travel Plaza whether it was worth it. They employ many Langston Univ students. They have excellent affordable chicken and donate a lot of chicken to Lunch on Noble for the needy. But, only because of the TIF sewer line.

31. Capitalism means MASTER( slavery). The root word CAP means head, and the head is at the top (see Caput). The system many would go to war for is a deceptive system designed to funnel money and resources to the top, and is never about the people. It’s the same “let them eat cake” system. When will the masses learn????

32. Where is the Doc? Where can you buy it?

33. Business won't change things, politics won't change things and money won't change things. People change things, but first… people have to change… and money can't be the incentive, or you'll just repeat the "have and have nots" cycle. This isn't anything exclusive to Baltimore, the East Coast, the U.S., the West or the last century. The heart of all these issues, as I see it, is endemic to the human race. The bible says it's a spiritual problem and that God has provided the bridge between the problem and the solution, only it has to be accessed person by person. There is no "passing of the buck" to someone other than self. The bible says it won't renovate the earth but it prepares all those who join the Kingdom for the renovation God has promised.

    So, there you have it. It's not about Baltimore as a city, it's about the human race. The city starts with people and the people are you and me. If the change is not beginning in us… all the talk and planning is posturing, passing the buck or delusion.

    Theoretically, you don't even need the politicians, the corporations or their money. The population itself has the natural ability (but not the spiritual, as a whole) to completely change the face of the city or any other location. And we all know that any other change, apart from the population, will only be temporary and will devolve into yet another dysfunctional situation, as is referenced in this video. Businesses now figure that into their business model and projections to protect themselves from the eventual downturn.

    If one doesn't believe in the eternal, spiritual or the transcendent none of this will matter. They will continue to strive towards a utopia that will never come but which will either bulldoze those underneath its attempted construction or bankrupt those who corporately invest in it. There is no refuge or redemption in the current civilizational model.

34. A tax on people's income is theft and unconstitutional, that's just for starters

35. Many years Mayor Democrat Bmore big cheat,thieves, lie,careless,gold digger
    … Good Luck 2024 .

36. I like jane Miller, she does her investigation, she is on point

37. Nobody wants to keep putting money into these surrounding neighborhoods and they don't stay kept up

38. Good Lord… Served 48 years

39. What is an American political prisoner such as Mr. Mansa Munsa? I mean no disrespect when asking this question just looking to learn. Plus I love this channel

40. When is the documentary available? Ge some Press and start some Discussion groups!

41. We will replace it with something worse.
