Getting To Know "Them"


I say to those who rail against the “deadbeats” and “takers” and “moochers” and “dependency-heads”: How many do you PERSONALLY know?  And how well do you know them?  Do you know their story? 

Because it’s easy to be against something in the abstract.  Be specific.  And about more than just a few glaring cases.  One can’t single out a few and imply a mass problem, while ignoring the scraping many who want dignity and the chance for a livable wage in exchange for their hard work.

We rarely get to know those who we condemn.
