Poverty: uses of the underclass (gans) (3 themes) Separate the poor from the non-poor: #1 - risk reduction, #9 - institutional scapegoating, #11 - spacial puri cation, notes: Different: schools, hospitals for the poor. Nimby: not in my back yard. Can set them up as an enemy through deviance and stigma. Requiring an id to vote is to block those people who don"t have id"s. All about money (beliefs in regards to taxes) Try to prevent young people from voting: refrain from teaching about it, refrain from saying where to vote, refrain from saying how to vote. Job creation and job competition: #3 - economic banishment and the reserve army of labor, #4 - supplying illegal goods, #5 - job creation, #13 - extermination of the surplus, notes: Block poor people from working: bad jobs - below minimum wage, wars - need poor people to ll in for people with those jobs. Supplying illegal goods is for the middle class.
