Ah, thanks for the clarification. You still are making quite a generalization about the incomes of the people who live in rural areas. That's pretty surprising coming from the PPOT anti-generalization champion (any thread about Muslims, hello). In fact, I know a lot of people who live in rural areas. They are ranchers and farmers. Guess what? Lots of them are millionaires. In fact, a relative of mine owns a quarter horse ranch in rural Texas and she is worth several million at least.

No, most people who sponge off the government live in urban areas, they just have to live in the slums. Here's an interesting stat for you:
Urban Poverty rate: 20%
Rural Poverty rate: 14.6%
Perhaps you might rethink your preconceived prejudices against rural folks.
