[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poorer people bring down property values and bring crime. [b]Poor people also are more likely to not have time to discipline their kids, have drug or alcohol problems etc[/b]...[/quote]

This P should be embarrased.  Unbelievable ignorance.[/quote]

That "P" should be embarrassed because he told the truth?  Or he because he was not politically correct?   Do you have your head stuck so far in the sand that you deny that lower class people bring down property values and have a higher rate of crime?  [/quote]

Are you SURE this person is telling the truth?  Or is this person just spouting the stereotypical dogma that you hear on Rush Limbaugh?  Some of the most undisplined kids running amok that I have seen come from familes that are considered high and middle income.  So a family with law firm partner or corporate executive parent would have MORE time to discipline their kids than the maintenance engineer in that building?  Really?  I would agree that the higher income person would have more access to educational resources, but we are talking about discipline.

I am in public health and there is no [u]credible[/u] statistical correlation between SES and substance abuse.

So basically, my impression of the person who made this statement is that this person has very little personal interaction with poor people and pretty much gets their info from Fox News or Rush Limbaugh.   [/quote]

Also a liberal here.  The corrosive effects of poverty are well documented.  Ignoring them doesn't do anyone any good.  Why the fuck do you think eliminating poverty is a desirable thing?  We need to do more to fight multi-generational poverty because its consequences are so dire.[/quote]

No need to fight it, just contain it somewhere and live far away. There are winners and losers in life, without a loser there is no winner.[/quote]
