Even good in parts. It was featured on longform.org the other day (probably to counter accusations of liberal bias).

Obviously, it's infected by the lunatic right wing viewpoint, but the more attention poverty gets in this country the better, I say. And while they blame some of the stuff on liberalism, and use soda pop to decry liberal policies, the writer seems to me to ultimately realize that poverty is such an immense problem that it's hard to encapsulate within a single paradigm. He doesn't paint the picture simplistically, and seems to grasp the immense complexity of the problem.
