Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.  There are many other countries with
larger gaps between "rich" and "poor."  Many even have real poor folk
instead of the wealthy (in a relative, global sense) "poor" people we have
here.  Some of these countries have less crime.

Crime is NOT caused by poverty.  That is just another silly, liberal attempt
to make excuses for criminals.  There are many, many poor people who don't
commit crimes.
