The 1% Should Live Like The Poor

[Peregrine Took]

9. Many years ago Mayor Jane Byrne (Chgo) went to live in one of the worst housing projects here.

I think it would be a fantastic idea if these big mouth rethug pols who are always dissing poor people would put their fat butts where the poor live. Could they do it? Newt, Limpaugh, Romney etc? I wish some Dem would publically dare them to - maybe Al Sharpton.

"If you are so sure the "poor" are wastrel, drug taking, lazy bums living off the dole like lords - why don't you move to a project for a week or so - live on a poverty level diet, wait in line to work as a day laborer, or as a guy who washes windows walking around with a bucket and a brush in freezing cold weather?"

It would be great publicity for them but would have to be conducted by a neutral group like the Catholic Workers - in fact they could move into a Catholic Worker house and do menial chores, visit prisoners, work in soup kitchens 24/7
