[Batman] Why didn't Thomas and Martha Wayne have any bodyguards?

Thomas and Martha were one of the most richest and influential people in a city that has a enormously high crime rate, yet neither of them thought that having a bodyguard or two was good idea. I'm not even talking about the night they were killed, we never see them have any protection and security with them. 

I don't know about you, but If I lived in Gotham and had the position and money that the Wayne's had, I'd hire a few muscle heads to keep me relatively safe.

Alfred is the bodyguard.  He's former SAS at that age he would have wrecked Joe Chill no problem.  The issue was he was bringing the car around so wasn't with Thomas and Martha.  until it was too late.
