So the poor steal from the poor?

I know murder is higher in poor areas, I think that is because of alcohol abuse...

You would think with the amount of time our president spends in other countries he would have noticed that there are counties with more poverty but much less crime. I guess its hard to see these things when you travel in a private jet, get driven around in a maybach and stay at the best hotels.

It would be nice if he could make a speech without looking like an idiot - but perhaps that is asking too much from him.
