Much of the youth today seem to have a "I want it, so I deserve it now" mentality so when they see/want that new Cadillac Escalade they turn to the easiest road available to them which for the impoverished is typically drug dealing. We should try to seek out how the mind frame can be changed to, yes you can have that nice car/house/clothes this way, it might take a little longer and be harder but get an education (past high school) and many of these poor people can change their lives and break this bleak impoverished cycle.
