ÔÇ£Poverty is not a character failing or a lack of motivation. Poverty is a shortage of money.ÔÇØ
Barbara Ehrenreich
"It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil. The want of money is so quite as truly."
Samuel Butler.
ÔÇ£When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick & the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.ÔÇØ
