Goes both ways my friend.
Ah good point, well played. Here's what I think. I think that there would be a surprising parity in the percentage of "haves" that turn to crime on the streets of Detroit and "have nots" that become legitimate citizens if given the opportunity to do so in Iowa. You may not believe this but I grew up with some hard core criminals, both friends and family. I can't tell you how many times I've seen men who would shot you down in cold blood for $1, cry honest tears wishing they could find a way out. Seriously.

You know for some reason Australia comes to mind...
