Re: Wealth distribution benefits all (and defenatly the rich).

>>By removing my arguement for poverty not being the only cause for crime<<

...What? Are we 5? You had to state that there are more influences on crime rates than poverty? And 2+2 is 4. And water is wet.

>>you yourself created the simplistic view that crime is a direct consequence of poverty.<<

Not only did I never advocate such a position, but it was you operating under this assumption in claiming that welfare reduces crime, which I argued against.

I've stated about 5 times now that I was taking issue with your claim regarding welfare and crime, not poverty and crime.

Re: Wealth distribution benefits all (and defenatly the rich).

Lack of ability to get jobs can cause crimes.

Lack of law can cause crimes.

Lack of punishment can cause crimes.

Hate can cause crimes.


But to say poverty causes crime is incorrect. Lacking jobs can be due to over high taxes destroying any chance of work, see Detroit for an example.

Race hate, anti business hate, anti rich hate, these cause crimes all the time. They are not of poverty neccessarily though since often rich Islamic kids go into Jihad as much as poor ones.

When the justice system of an area is broke crime goes rampant, such as Portland Oregon. With many early release mechanisms all to often no one does any real jail time, and what jail time they get is easier than working for a business by far.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Not caught I get to reboot my life

Caught 3 very nice meals (better than what many eat believe it or not), free education (I love new knowledge), big screen televisions (only will hate when the rest watch sports), a library system I can order books through (never pay for books, ooh), free medical care better than most upper middle class families get (provided right prison, I can work on that) and more.

Of course I would have to set shop up as a person who guides others how to escaoe, setting up shiv hiding spots, and connecting to all the gang leaders for protection if I don't wanna be raped, but that threat is reduced in the more modern prisons. Of course I could just become the mad scientist always has a shiv man as well with no cares if I have to use it...


But meh, all conjecture>

To the tent in the Arizona desert with you!

lol. I love Joe Arpaio. It always strikes me as confusing how his actions can be racist. The only semi valid evidence against him I have seen from liberals was that he was chasing illegals at the neglect of violent felons. Ofc, that needs to be verified, but beyond that they are just screaming nonsense.

after Joe Horn got acquitted for shooting an unarmed burglar of somebody else's house with a shotgun 3 times AFTER calling 911, I wouldn't turn right on red in Texas o.O

I was waiting to post a joke about the ridiculousness of the thread, the fact that WFS has not returned to it, and the connection between the two being that WFS was absolutely trashed. big_smile

Re: Wealth distribution benefits all (and defenatly the rich).

Which reminds me, I get the same shitty service at watering holes when I tip $10 bills + a few ones a good number of times even on cheap evenings. I want to be nice -- okay, let's be honest, I want to ensure that I always look good -- but it seems that most bartenders aren't bright enough to notice one's high tipping or decent enough to not suck even if they do anyway. What I'm saying is, if they're not even productive enough to work for my $20 tip when I'm only spending $50, can you imagine how horrible their service would be if their income was based upon my earnings, not the service they provide for me!? Oh, I get a headache just thinking about it. And it causes crime. I'm 15% more likely to strike a bartender tonight because of wealth distribution. Ask my bartenders if that benefits them!
