[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about paying.....for college or other ways to get out of poverty?[/quote] Because poverty is not a cause of murder. [/quote] Poverty is a significant driver of crime, including murder.[/quote] Why not claim that criminals are poor, which is as plausible as the proposition that poor people are criminals. It doesn't follow, of course, that making poor people wealthy transforms them magically into non-criminals. Especially since many crimes committed by poor people are not meant to enrich them - assaults, rapes, murder, and drug use don't in themselves enrich the perpetrators, who are simply sociopaths, not hungry upright citizens driven to criminality to feed themselves. [/quote] Some of the very wealthy are wealthy because they are sleazy white collar criminals. Some people are just sociopaths.[/quote]
