@TreblePop that is crap - every single word of it.

The suffering that took place then was suffering out selfish greed - our social programs today are what kept a second depression at bay --- and yes that means the wealthy have to help the poor by paying taxes.

That is the Christian American thing to do.

The poor people then were not poor because they made mistakes. They were poor because of Right Wing Conservative Republican corruption in politics and the business community.
