What is riskier than living poor in America? Seriously! What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America? I live in a neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into school because maybe it will be a good school and maybe it wont. I am sick of the idea that being wealthy is risky. No! Being poor is what is risky!
Agreed.
The risk that my wife or myself will get shot dropped dramatically when we started making more money. We were able to move to a better neighborhood. In fact - the main reason we want more money than what we have is to lower our risk.
And why is that? Are you implying that poor people have a higher propensity to commit crime?
Oh, when one has more stuff, they face a larger probability of that stuff being stolen.
No one is immune to crime.
But your racist and closed minded generalization about the poor is duly noted.
Way to trap yourself. Brilliant.
