MELVILLE & THE BAGGERS

(h/t Being Liberal)

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed. -

Poor Man's Pudding and Rich Man's Crumbs (1854)

I am now really annoyed about all the lies the Baggers and their media tell us about the poor. It's as if there really was no such thing as poverty in America, as if everyone had access to the very best doctors or lawyers or teachers and, yes, even air conditioning.
