why so much blame on the rich for everything? they commit more crimes than the rich. most people who are in prison are poor. and its not because the rich pay off the judge, or else enron would still be alive, and martha stewart wouldn't have gone to jail. or do liberals think its ok for the poor to commit crimes because they are forever holy and god-like and deserve to be worshipped?
part of the reason why poor people are poor is because they screw themselves up with felony convictions and drug-addictions. if lindsey lohan continues to live the way she has, she might become poor as well. and liberals do this, while having 3 kids before age 15. then they expect their wages to be as high as bill gates'.

Poor people tend to commit crimes because they need money to sustain their dependents or to survive the demands of the society.

Why don't you go talk to the Vietnam veteran who was sent to war by the draft at age 19 instead of being able to go to college, lost his legs in battle, came home to a country that hates him for what he was made to do by his own government, who can't get a job because if his disabiltiy and the benefits he receives can't be called benefits. And where do you get your facts? How can you possibly say the poor commit more crimes than the rich? The rich have the money and resources to get away with commiting crimes, ie Scooter F'n Libby, Paris Hilton, Martha Stewart, Richard Nixon, Ollie North, Roberto Gonzales, Ken Lay and the list goes on and on. And prove to me that all liberals have 3 kids before the age of 15. Your question, ... er statement is pathetic. You have no way to back up your claims. What are you going to do next, claim that all criminal is jail are liberals and are black or mexican.

It matters ---- yes and no, about being wealthy or poor. There is man in our little town who has been convicted of seven felonies and hasn't gone to jail yet. And I know for a fact that his Father is well off and has been paying them off for years not to put his son in jail. It happens everyday in this country. The poor - ignorance breeding ignorance for generations. If they don't know any better - tell me how they can teach their children not to do the same, when they don't even do it? I have spent 20 months in prison and there are more poor than wealthy in there. I had the best attorney (right...) in the county and he told me I would never see the inside of a cell. Well, he was wrong and I did. And my family nor myself is poor. Depends on the crime and what you have done in the past in most cases, but like the man I know in town. Right attorney for the right Judge and he keeps on walking.............. after seven DUI/DWI's. Life in USA......

Amen. I don't like working my butt off just so I can support someone else to sit on their butt and eat better than my family. The reason is because of the majority of wealthy people vote for conservatives because of their tax bracket. Conservatives in general don't want to pay for someone to sit at home.
People do screw themselves, that's a fact. My neighbor and I grew up together, went to school together, had the same type of hard working parents, and then we graduated. He now lives in a trailer in the woods and collects unemployment while I work for a fortune 500 company as an engineer. We had the same opportunities. I chose the right path, he didn't.

After reading what you wrote I had to vomit .
Its not the fault of the rich or the poor its the fault of the system which unfairly rewards white people and denies jobs to minorities .
Get real for a minute and accept reality .
One in three black men between the ages of 18-40 is out of work .
While unemployment is whatever number Bush wants it to be .

What? You are hopelessly misinformed. If you are poor and hungry you are more likely to steal food so you don't die. Enron execs and Martha Stewart were GREEDY and Martha got what she deserved. Did it make her poor? I don't think so.

Is this a question, or a political statement?
