I think that, while not the most eloquent of posters, row has a point. The poor in society are forced into the same social contract and set of laws as everyone else but reap far fewer perceived benefits. The perceived benefits of breaking the law (stealing, driving without a license, crossing a border illegally) often outweigh the perceived benefits of following the law. Add to this certain urban lifestyles that glorify and require violence and criminal activity (gangs, !@#$ the police, etc.) and much of what he's saying is accurate.
