His statement is a wry comment on the conservative world view. When you drill their dogma to bedrock, you find only misanthropy for the less fortunate. I assume we are talking about my original post,"A poor man should be hard at work improving his miserable financial condition. " You, as a "progressive,: see this as "misanthropy." I, as a "libertarian", see it as "Tough love." As JFK said, "Life is unfair." I suspect that you would find that most of us who have grown children have seen this on a personal basis. It is amazing how often one out of three of your kids looks at the world around his 10th year, and says, "hey, I think I will go that way." Then we parents go through a period of trying to bail them out of trouble, until we finally give up and tell them, "No More!" This generalizes real easy.
