Reply to comment by caucasoidape in Socioeconomic factors influence children’s risk-taking, says new study, and bad calls are not always the fault of poor judgment or lack of self-control by giuliomagnifico

It might help if poor people werent so underpaid and overstressed they are always ready to snap at a moment's notice.

A big problem in the US is we will divert money for the children, but not for the adults, whereas in say Europe adults have access to lots of social programs, the number one being nationalized healthcare, but also rent assistance/low income housing. If lower income parents had a solid roof over their head and health care insurance they would have far more energy and patience for parenting.

More money wouldn't have stopped my redneck stepdad, and teachers from being bullies. I agree with idea of the working class getting a better cut though.

It's proven through sociological studies to actually stop all of that though. Crime, abuse, drug use, suicide, and many other behaviors drop significantly with sufficient social safety nets in place.
