To Newt Gingrich:
“When I was growing up in Detroit, it never occurred to me to equate a person’s net worth with his or her worth as a person, or look at it as a snapshot of a value system. No one around me did. That’s because we saw so many people working hard for a better life. With that as your backdrop, it is hard to see poor as a four-letter word.”
- LZ Granderson in Gingrich has it wrong about the poor (and their lack of work ethic.), Dec. 13, 2011.
