Eric Hoffer as quoted in James D. Koerner, Hoffer's America (Open Court, 1973), p. 57:
Poverty causes crime! That is what they are always shoving down our throats, the misbegotten bastards! What crap! Poverty does not cause crime. If it did we would have been buried in crime for most of our history . . . .
Why is common sense like this incomprehensible to liberals? Poverty no more causes crime than wealth causes virtue.
