    Many of them don’t work and live in public housing. The ones who do work do so to have a higher quality of life. Living off of government handouts is not glamorous. Public housing complexes and inner city slums are notoriously crime ridden. The overwhelming majority of non-suicide gun deaths occur in these areas due to drug addiction etc.

    The rural poor have similar problems but there is far less violence.
