And the obvious attempt of American rightists to tie criminal behavior to "entitlements" in such a broad sense is nothing more than mass manipulation with a purely political end in mind.

On top of that rich people commit way more crime than poor people.
The difference is poor people go to the slammer, rich people get bailed out.
Take that $700 Billion dollar bailout the Wall Street Banksters got in 2009.
In 2009 the average convenience store hold up netted $761.

So that bailout was the equivalent of 919,000,000 convenience store stick ups. 919 MILLION. That's 3 convenience store stick ups for every man woman and child in the US. Hows that for an entitlement?
