Newt Gingrich Hates Poor Children

Newt’s War on Poor Children
By CHARLES M. BLOW

Newt Gingrich has reached a new low, and that is hard for him to do.

Nearly two weeks after claiming that child labor laws are "truly stupid" and implying that poor children should be put to work as janitors in their schools, he now claims that poor children don’t understand work unless they’re doing

This makes my brain hurt so much. The fact that this kind of ideology is the backbone of a serious contender for presidency makes me want to quit the US.

All I keep hearing lately boils down to, "poor people, how dare you exist!!!!"

Right? "Born poor? Nobody's born poor in the USA unless they deserve it! You OBVIOUSLY got poor by being a criminal lowlife! All you need is a damn job working for a rich guy who can pay you whatever he wants for your time, keep you from your family for as long as he pleases, put you in unsafe working conditions, and keep you from ever climbing out of poverty! YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK 48 HOURS A DAY TO GET AHEAD, DUHH!! AND IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU'RE WORTHLESS! JUST KILL YOURSELF NOW & SPARE US THE MEDICARE DOLLARS!"

I have never in my life been more moved toward physical violence than when confronted by the reality of this person.

I'm pretty sure poor people work a hell of a lot harder than Newt Gingrich has ever worked in his life.
