Cracking Good Poverty!

Cracking good piece over at the Cracked website on the distant relationship between reality and the political establishment where poverty is concerned.  Besides being one of the great towering mountains of bullshit that encircle our tainted land, poverty, fear of poor people, and lies about them both are some of the best, most useful tactics the overlords employ to keep our society distracted from the many problems we face and their true root causes.  If the average working Jill out there is busy hating on some mythical nasty poor folks, she's not worrying about the people who are wrecking her life and her world on purpose.  Brilliant.
