"Now is the time when government ought to be borrowing a lot of money and taking that money and putting it into job creation." Tom harkin
According to everything I see, and all the things I know poverty is linked with Drugs, Violence, Fast food, and certain neighborhoods. If you go out the bigger cities where poverty is normally found, there is less violence, different drugs, and less fast food restaurants. Poverty looks like those things, and not to mention most places where poverty is normally saw at is in places where the population is a majority of minorities. People in poverty affect a democracy, because it basically unravels the democracy making people not have equal chance and equal say. It makes people not be as equally nourished, and more likely to be incorporated with violence. Poverty doesn't look like democracy.
