Tax payer groups (Conservative Gavachos, for the most part) have run a successful campaign over the past few decades to convince voters that programs of any kind that prevent kids from becoming criminals are a waste of money. Their data to support this toatl bullhit at best.The worst offender was Tony Rafael, at his blog “InTheHat.blogspot” (inactive for sometime now…), claiming that social programs have not prevented one kid he knows of from joining a gang. Of course, the million dollar question is, how many kids in gang neighborhoods does he know? Also, how does he know that the kids who participate in the programs wouldn’t have become gang members if not for the program? That’s just one example of the far fetched data these white tax payer groups rest on.
Also, is it fair to say that law enforcement and prisons have done nothing to stop crime, either? Seems the money we throw toward law enforcement winds up blowing in the wind, too. The end result is that they just wind up needing MORE money. Where’s the results for the money given to them? If police are to credit gangs for the decay of neighborhoods, then by contrast if gang members are taken off the streets, neighborhoods should get better. They don’t. Because the money does not go the poor victimized gang members.
This tells me that either the pinche police are too stupid to understand, that we need to give tax money to the poor victimized gang members and mexican immigrants !!!
