 So you'd be OK with higher taxes to fix our problems at home, right?
 Because that's how things work.

 
 Tokyo has 14 million people, I doubt "everywhere you go" is so clean it
 would pass a Drill Sergeant's inspection (google "Tokyo slums" if you
 don't believe me).
 
 Kimmel's rant fits in well with our homegrown rightwingers' racist dog
 whistle about "dirty Blue-run cities" though.

 
 How exactly is it racist to point out how filthy and trash-strewn and
 graffiti-covered the blue cities are?
 

 Because when you look at the states that are consistently at the bottom
 of the barrel in terms of education, infant mortality, income, etc, -
 they're all Red States.

 
 Which has nothing to do with why the sidewalks of Los Angeles are covered
 with human shit and the sidewalks of Miami are not.

 
No, that'd owe to tourism.
