Creating Destructive Myths About the Poor

Across the years I guess I've just about heard them all.

Folks who have little or no first hand knowledge about poverty or the people it crushes find it easy to make decisions and render judgments against the poor.

As a rule, we would do well to resist such self-justifying conclusions.

The scoundrel’s methods are wicked, he makes up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
