Most thieves, murderers, etc were poor, they weren't? Then they were explained as special cases.

When you come with a premade conclusion based on ideology it is usually very easy to find "proofs".

Think it a different way, most of the people reading this forum are at the world's top 1%. I venture to guess you as well, are you evil for hoarding all that cash? Was your 9-5 work epitome of evil?
