Reductionist crap.
posted by The Vidiot @ 9:27 AM Permalink This article says that violent crime has gone up because the GOP cut police programs.Excerpt: The rate of violent crime in America increased last year for the first time since 1991, according to a new FBI report. The increase coincides with dramatic cuts to state and local law enforcement funding by Republicans each year since President Bush took office. The $2.3 billion recently approved by the House amounts to nearly half of the $4.5 billion appropriated in 2001.No, the violence coincides with the ever increasing disparities between rich and poor, the ever increasing marginalization of the lower classes, the increased hypersegregation due to over development and gentrification. In sum, the violence coincides as the contradictions in our capitalistic economic system become more obvious and pervasive. In fact, the scapegoating of the working class and poor is used to distract our attention away from these contradictions.
Got it? Good.
