Stealing Dignity Poor: A Right To Dignity

roll out legacy
reds under beds
slander attacks
unfounded again

deficit terrorism
scares millions
American citizens
draw economic line

who launches
smear campaigns
to demonize
US intelligentsia

who targets
poor labels;
behavioural
economics?

claims bluntly
emphasizes
poor are lazy
short-sighted

ivy league boys
stealing bankrolls
get off honest
workers backs

give employment;
average IQ poor
is not well below
normal accounts

but for earnings
gap education
degrees do earn
higher salaries

social pathology;
poor are not prone
more to criminal
behavior honest

poor are bedrock
of moral society;
career options
notorious fleeting

crime benefits
white collar crimes
fancy lawyers
buy rich client

freedom Bell Curve
merry propaganda
Frankensteinism
blocks sewer pipes

H&M IQ thesis
non-white poor
discrimination
rhetoric evolved

to any race poor
laid off victim poor
stolen their houses
is not yet enough

greedy robber baron
rich must also steal
a hard poor workers
honour pride dignity
