ElM, I have thought about them always, from when I was 5 and decided freedom was more important than sitting in the boring classroom, so hid outside after play time. <Only we, with our full bellies, heated rooms and money in the bank are thinking about the higher level issues. > And earlier.
I have always worked. From when I knew what money was, I started working to earn it. I was never in danger of starving, but even then, I think my mind would have been working okay.
You could read Thomas Sowell about his early days. He wasn't rich. He thought.
ElM, you are so clueless: <MQ had had his cushy job, during the past set of circumstances and because he had not been involved lately, he doesn’t know what it is to go out there and make money. > I can remember very well indeed my many jobs to earn money.
I was never as poor as hordes of people, but my jobs have been much, much more arduous, dangerous and dirty than anything you have mentioned [that I've seen]. You hang out with a bunch of young terrorist women in Iran and think you are having a hard time.
The interests of the "dirty poor" as you call them lie in property rights [which of course includes protection, to labour the point], nutrition, medical treatment, education and that means freedom. Not to mention a hot shower after a hard day of dirty work.
