> The poor people (on welfare) are more likely to be trouble - they are on welfare for a reason..
as someone who's family has lived on welfare too, i find that notion insulting.
the reason for people being on welfare most often has nothing to do with people getting in trouble. loosing a job, divorce, natural disasters, illness in the family. there are many reasons someone could need welfare.
i urge you to really meet these people and understand their situation instead of dismissing them like that.
Do you have children? Did you get a cheap flat in the poor part of town? Many families pay higher rents, so that their kids have save streets and playgrounds to play in.
In my middle class neighborhood, I am not aware if a rich kid causing trouble. What trouble do you have in mind? Loud parties? Is the rich kid going to steal my kid's iPhones? I am talking about violence, pollution, syringes on playgrounds, stuff like that.
