What do the ten U.S. cities with the highest poverty rates have in common?
Now this is not an attack on democrats but democratic policies. On average, democratic run cities have the highest crime and poverty. If its not the policies, is it the people? I believe its the policies the people in power make.

Chicken and egg effect. Democrats create poor cities or poor cities create democrats.

Poverty creates crime, rather.
Correlation does not imply causation.

What's the matter with you good Republicans? Use some of your money to go clean up those cities!

...I believe that in those cities, just like our present POTUS, the voters vote for who will give them the most, which just happens to be the liberal Democrat party and the perpetual cycle of non-productivity continues until the place becomes a siht hole comprised of a now helpless culture dependent on handouts or taking what they want as an entitlement; thus higher crime.
...Of all the $Trillions thrown at this from the productive, you cannot force people to become productive. One might conclude that starvation would force people to become legally self responsible, but it will not, as shown by an increase of crime.
======
...From a practical social viewpoint, the only way to stop this generational cycle, is to remove the perpetual encouragement of making babies to be supported by the taxpayer, by removing the children and raising them in a productive environment and until the parent(s) become productive and can support their created responsibilities, they can visit, but don't get their kids back.
...Harsh? Immoral? ... maybe so, but government has no issue with removing children from an abusing home and what can be more abusive than forcing children to be raised by uneducated, unmotivated parents that continuously make poor choices, that their children must suffer from and is proven beyond a doubt, this perpetual cycle continues generation after generation? What can be more abusive, than isolating children from their potential as future adults by non-productive parents?
...Personally, I think parent rights end when they cannot support their children, as after all, their rights include their responsibilities as a parent. If society, if government, if the taxpayer is perpetually paying to raise these children, not a hand up, or temporary help, then they also have a say in how they are raised.
...In fact, since many parents are illiterate and home school is out of the question, government already does have a say, by mandatory public education to a certain age, mandatory vaccinations, etc., as well as mandatory removal from the home because of various perceived abuses. Think of the FLDS children.
======
...It is also a fact, that in all the world, when it is free, it has far less perceived value. I see it often in marketing, where I will give someone a siht load of books and products to learn, but they will never even open them. But, if I charge them $97, or $497, they will read it, as they have an investment and it suddenly has value.

I have been to Oakland, CA many times, and it ranks right up there in crime too.
One of the biggest problems I see is the street lights are not light enough, or there are not enough.
If you light up the night, then I believe it will help crime.

...Light does deter, but that does not address the reason for crime itself.
...Today, crime is not limited to darkness, as there is a steady increase in robbery and theft during daylight hours in the better neighborhoods, because people are at work and nobody home. As well, we are seeing an increase of people being robbed in the parking lots; especially the vulnerable, such as women and the old folks.

"there is a steady increase in robbery and theft during daylight hours..." 
...As well, when Grandma is home alone and threatened or by force, it is robbery.

I understand that too.
We have always had crime though, and is it now because of the unemployment? i don't think so myself.
Do I think cities run by a certain party are worse? I don't know that either.
i do know that even in small towns people tend to lock their doors now, and people just don't walk the streets at night.
Lol, there are many places here I wouldn't walk them in the day time either.

...There is no doubt in my mind, that crime is a result of immorality, lack of ethics and maybe most important, lack of integrity and where are these emotional guidelines derived from?
...All other things staying equal, a higher population, which is comprised of millions of illegals, would certainly and statistically manifest itself into higher crime numbers.
...But when crime rate increases, or a percentage of the population, then population has nothing to do with increase or decrease. Intermittent spikes in crime rate would be indicative of social issues at that given time, while a steady increase in crime rate, indicates a perpetual social issue.
...In conclusion, I would certainly agree that social issues have an effect on rate of crime and yes, said crime rate could very easily be identified to the ideology of a particular party, such as political, culture, etc.

I agree. Those Wall Street hoodlums have no ethics, and steal much more from others than all the street criminals combined.

Yes, but like their cousins in politics and government, they have connections on the bench and plenty of loot with which to bribe.

...If this is truth, then one would easily conclude that government lacked the oversight to control capitalism as it should have by laws already written, rather than taxes.
...Yet, I believe it would be a fair assumption to include corrupt politics in this Wall Street endeavor, as how in the hell else did a couple of broke azz politicians take up residence in the White House and leave multimillionaires?
...And then there is the personal choice, of would you prefer personal theft, or to be left in the middle of the street with a bullet or knife hole and your wallet taken?

It is much easier to avoid the street hoodlums than the corporate and government hoodlums. Having been a victim at one time of each of the three, I'll risk the gang of street hoods any day of the week.
