This has the smell of a fake story.

A female writer for the Atlantic wanders "through the chilly streets of South Philly in search of a good story" and meets a group of elderly black guys waiting on one of their daughters to finish with her trick?

She's selling her body because of our lousy health care system: "We could almost squeek by on my unemployment and his Social Security, but Medicare don't pay all his medications anymore. I can't let him die because I couldn't afford his pills."

There's the requisite shots at religion:

"Some at my church might call it immoral. I think it good business sense. .... Catholic priests tell us how to live while they's diddling little boys in their free time. Reverends tell us how to live while they's hiring male hos and doing meth. Nu-uh. Don't no one tell me how to live. I have a mind and I can decide what's right and what's wrong for myself."

" And hypocrisy, that's sometimes the worst wrong." Yep, the standard liberal moral view.

"With our government needing money, I wish I could pay taxes."
That cinches it - this is a liberal writing a fake story.
