Maybe our world needs soup lines and 30% unemployment.

7. Are you thinking that if we had "soup lines, 30% unemployment" something would

get better?

Via magic or something?

Maybe it would only mean more serfs. Just because lots of people are poor doesn't mean they will stand up. Prior to the civil war Florida was 45% slaves - yet it took about another hundred years for them to march just to be considered whole people.

We had 30% poverty before 1965 among seniors, nothing changed until we elected someone who thought it was abhorrent, that there was no greater priority, who was willing to address the issue. But that took educated voters, not scared and desperate ones. They might get mad, but that doesn't mean smart.

I guess it's possible, but I think more people with low-income leads only to one thing...more people with low income.
