A Poor House? To my shame,
I've never set foot inside one. I wish every Member of this House
could do so. They would soon see why men
would rather starve than commit themselves to such
a degrading institution. But if people lack employment...
Many do not. They only lack the sufficiency
to meet the price of bread and Parliament lacks the will
to remedy that. Perhaps there is no remedy. Perhaps I should throw up
my hands and go home
