simple, right?
what does being poor have to do with violent crime? I grew up without running water and picked up cans with my wife through college. Never committed any crimes let alone violent ones. Made sure we did not have kids until we could afford them and stayed away from bad folks. I doubt any of you have experienced the lifestyle of the reservation my wife came from. Yet we never took welfare, food stamps or any handouts. Still managed to never commit any crimes
Poor people may have hell making bail even if they are completely innocent of the infraction they were jailed for.
They aren't just talking about violent crime. People are jailed for other things too. What if you or your wife had been wrongfully accused of a crime in those college days?
Don't just imagine it! Look at our aluminum tariffs. There's more money in road side trash picking than theres ever been in our history.
45 million americans still live below the poverty line.
How many of those are living there by choice?
And yes, "choice" means choosing to work to better oneself so that they could become employed.
Not sure if such a measurement exists.
How is that relevant?
