Here's a nicer way of referencing Kansas City's stingy side:
Kansas City ranks among Top 10 cities for frugality
There are notable exceptions. But they're exceptions that simply reinforce the rule.
Maybe this why the free-spending ways of the Mayor and City Council seem so out of place. Still, this is important info about Kansas City's culture that could help ease your conscience next time you walk over a hobo begging for some spare change.
KC is mostly Democratic, and Democrats are notoriously cheap with their money.
ReplyDeleteThey just want to spend YOUR money.
i neva tip whens i go out to eat..cause i jus go to de drive thru!!!
ReplyDeleteTony- this list uses "frugal" to mean clipping coupons. Kansas City comes in #3 in The Daily Beast 2010 Most Charitable Cities list, with 3.5% of earnings donated, while the Charity Navigator lists Kansas City as #5.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't explain why the voters of KC keeping electing the spendthrifts they do, but don't try to equate their voting record with a lack of charity.
agree.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I gave to the govt and their war on poverty.
ReplyDeleteIf you think this place is cheap, go up the highway to St. Joseph.
ReplyDeleteKC hasn't got anything on that little berg.
