WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Poor Americans Have It Too Good?

This is relevant, at its core, to the earlier posts about homelessness. The hardening of hearts appears to be a flowering "industry." 

 

I have felt elation and experienced deep reflection around the March on Washington Saturday.  I also have come too close to despairing about the horrors that poverty has inflicted—and continues to inflict—on too many Americans.   It's horrifying that those who bear the burdens of poverty must also endure the contempt of the well-to-do.  Here's a link to Bill Moyers and a piece that talks about that contempt.  Let's correct the myths, misrepresentations and downright lies that fuel that contempt wherever we can.  http://billmoyers.com/2013/08/21/cato-institute-report-says-poor-americans-have-it-too-good/
