‘I wouldn’t want poor people in my backyard. Would you?’
2nd June 2015
This indicates to me that America, even the bobo class, had not entirely thrown away all of its common sense. We all know that the problem with poor people is not that they lack money, but that they behave poorly. No one has too much of a problem living next to poor college students, who are technically poor because they lack income and assets. College students occasionally are over-exuberant in their partying, but you don’t have to worry about them mugging you, or that their children will beat up your children.
