The poor and moral arguments for cutting off food stamp assistance and unemployment benefits. Egan looks at the U.S. Congress and opinions on this subject.
U.S. poverty and moral arguments
10/31/2010
Do the poor deserve to be poor because they are indolent and lazy or are their many kinds of poor, some indolent and lazy just like some indolent and lazy wealthy. And in our society should there be opportunities for all. Are some poor doing everything including hard work and good habits but having one or two events push them below the poverty line because of unexpected bills, medical emergency, or some bad event outside their control? These are the moral arguments on different sides. Beyond this there are children, and is a fair society going to make opportunities available to all children of all classes? Egan takes up the issue of a U.S. Congress that employs a certain kind of moral argument for cutting off food stamps and unemployment benefits to the poor.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
