    I’ve been saying for years now, you can pay for police and jails or you can pay for social assistance and schools, but one way or another, you will pay.

      I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of people deeply resent supporting society, and would rather have a solution that makes poor people suffer more.

        Yes, but it’s worth it to make them say it out loud, rather than letting them hide behind excuses like fiscal responsibility or the economy.
