The second thing, I believe, is that we tend to make assumptions about people who aren’t in our crowd that aren’t accurate. For example, most poor people are not on welfare; they work. I think that most poor people would agree that the best social program is a job, and that work is a lot better than welfare. Many, many poor people are the most anticrime people you can imagine, because they’re the people most likely to be victimized by it. | |
