If you provide health care for all American babies, the crime rate will go down

If you provide child care for all American babies, the crime rate will go down

If you provide safe food for all American babies, the corporate crime rate will have to go down

If you provide safe medicine for all American babies, the corporate crime rate will have to go down

If you provide safe water for all American babies, the corporate crime rate will have to go down

If you provide safe air for all American babies, the corporate crime rate will have to go down
