I would say that poverty, desperation, and an overall feeling that things are not going to change are the ingredients to violence. When I spent time in rural Idaho, the folks were not all that rich. But their economics were deliberate, they chose to live in remote and economically depressed areas knowing that they could pick up and move to a city and things would improve.
