I couldn’t agree more. And the 1% will do anything, anything, to avoid talking about it. So, poverty is never the problem in the inner cities. It’s the teachers’ union, or black politicians, or the Democrats, or a culture of dependency. Anything other than poverty.
Most people forget that MLK was killed in Memphis while he was fighting not for civil rights but for the sanitation workers’ right to organize. And whatever we might think about John Edwards, his political career was not killed by his philandering, but by his talking about poverty.
