Liberals believe that crime is inextricably linked
with poverty. In reality, most poor people never resort to crime,
and some wealthy people commit evil acts to enrich themselves
further.
Harlem, East Los Angeles, the South side of Chicago are not the
poorest communities in the United States. According to a new
U.S. Bureau of the Census report, the poorest communities are
Shannon County, South Dakota, followed by Starr, Texas, and Tunica,
Mississippi. Have you ever heard of these residents rioting to
protest their living conditions?
Liberals state that many teenagers would rather sell crack for
$100 an hour than to flip hamburgers for a minimum wage. Using
the same liberal logic, you might think it would make more sense
for the average middle-class worker to rob banks rather than
work a forty-hour week?
The reason why most people, rich and poor, do not commit crimes
because they know it is wrong to do so.
