Seen them fellows


with the card board signs
Scrapin’ up a little money
To buy a bottle of wine.

Pregnant women and
The Vietnam vets. I say
Beggin’ on the freeway
’Bout as hard as it gets


(From “Cold Water” by Tom Waits)

To be poor in America is different than being poor in most other places and times in one very particular way: because we here desperately want to believe our success and rewards flow exclusively from our own hard work and our own good character.

And like most things, this is partially true. Nuancedly true.

Hard work is a very good thing for which there is no substitute and anyone that says otherwise is deluded. Hard work makes a difference and without it, if you are without any other resources, you will fail.

Hard work goooood, OK?

But by material standards you can also fail catastrophically, or keep yourself just enough above the rising tide to barely hold off complete collapse, and still be working your damned ass off.

Millions of Americans work like the Devil Himself was chasing them, and never get out from under. And, conversely, there are hundreds of thousands of Americans who command wealth and live very comfortably through absolutely no native ability or particular ambition, diligence, discipline. Through accident of birth, geography, race, time or a combination platter of all of these they are the recipients of power they did not earn and the rewards of wealth for which they never broke a sweat.

Which wouldn’t piss me off past the basic human envy to which we are all heir except for the fact that, in order to reassure themselves that they “deserve” what they have, they need to invent an ideology of Entitlement and Affirmative Action for Rich, White Scions to explain why they are entitled to everything they can grab, and why everyone else is entitled to starve if they weren't born a Fortunate Son.

It is a deprave ideology based, I would argue, on a fear so deep it's almost molecular.

Because poverty – grinding, back-snapping, living-it-every-day-forever poverty – is as alien and terrifying a foreign land as prison for those who have never wanted for anything. Poverty is such a source of primal dread that I’ve often wondered – and this is not an original thought - if the reason we allow it to continue is that the Poor are such useful bogeymen when it comes to keeping the middle-class scared obediently shitless.

We need to keep it away from us. We need to shun it. We need to pretend that it will never strike us down, so we invent another “Us and Them” mythos.

Like Job meticulously making every sacrifice and following every stupid, little ritual – all 300 pages of them -- that God has demanded he perform, we believe that following the rules makes us safe. That if we just act with perfect rectitude we will always be protected.

And so to bind our horror of falling into poverty up and keep it locked away, we create a secular religion around the idea that Prosperity is directly proportional to Virtue – an outward sign of the inner man.

And let me repeat, Prosperity is a fine thing, as is Virtue (although if you are somewhat less that virtuous in a particularly naughty way, be sure to drop me a detailed email.) But since we desperately need to feel that the course of our economic journey is entirely in our own hands, we end up casting what should be a complex and delicate debate in a stark, ignorant and ruinously Manichean light.

Because in the world of only yes-or-no, 1-and-0, black-and-white, for every Heaven, there must also be a Hell, so we also created a mirror-myth to balance out our prosperity equation. If you are successful solely by dint of your sterling character then as day follows night it must be true that if you’re poor you must be a bad person.

If you stepped off the curb and got hit by the Crosstown Bus of Life, you must have deserved it.

The problem being, that simply isn’t true.

You can work your ass off and still be poor. Be a good person, and still be poor. Lose your job to a flat tire or your home to a busted leg…and still be a noble human.

And it is also true that, day after day, the Business News is filled with tales of ruined companies, plundered pensions, indictments and jail-time for “successful” men who made it Croesus-big for reasons no more complex than they had cronies who propelled them into the top job, and they had looter-morals that would gag a maggot, as the saying goes.

Look at the leadership of the GOP and what do you see but the DNA of Staggeringly Inept, Arrogant, White ManChild Entitlement replicating itself at the speed of a runaway carcinoma?

Sorry, but having the Party of George Fucking Bush prate on about the evils of Affirmative Action and the virtues of hard work is like getting a stern lecture from Hannibal Lechter on the importance of keeping strictly kosher and vegan.

To hide from the fear of Poverty capriciously bringing us low and stripping us of all we have, we make Money a God instead of a tool, and worship it with creepy, invented rituals like Cargo Cultists bowing down before statues of aircraft make of sticks and twine.

We do the same with power; because we fear what it can do, we ingratiate ourselves to it. We suck up to it. And then, finally, some of us Stockholm Syndrome with it completely...becoming little Rush Limbaugh’s; the craven sidekick of the playground thug who laughs at the weak and the helpless getting their teeth kicked in and manufacture whole shelves of White Papers explaining why the poor deserve the Boot and the rich deserve to kick them.

We do the same with youth and beauty: if you look imperfect, you must be imperfect...amped up by the Class War aspect of boutique, unnecessary, drive-thru-prettification surgeries being available to the few.

Consider this from the Chicago Tribune.


Suit Accuses 'Extreme Makeover' of Fraud

By LAURA WIDES
Associated Press Writer

September 21, 2005, 9:49 AM CDT

LOS ANGELES -- A woman is suing ABC's reality show "Extreme Makeover" for unspecified damages, alleging its decision to cancel her appearance contributed to her sister's suicide.

In a lawsuit filed Sept. 9 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Deleese Williams, 30, of Conroe, Texas, claimed the producers subjected her to needless humiliation and goaded her sister, Kellie McGee, into insulting her appearance.

Williams says a psychologist and numerous doctors told her she needed an "eye lift, ears pulled back, chin implant and breast implants."

She was also told she needed dental surgery to break and reset her jaw for a successful "makeover," the lawsuit said.

Just hours before the dental surgery was to take place, Williams was told she was being dropped from the show because the recovery time wouldn't fit into the schedule, the lawsuit said.

Williams said she returned to Texas devastated. Four months later, her sister killed herself.
...
"The most tragic part is that Deleese is now too ashamed to even go out in public," Cordova said.
...
"The ABC Television Network wishes to express its sincere condolences to Deleese Williams and her family for the loss of Kellie McGee," the company said in a statement.

...


Fuck you and your boilerplate condolences. You tamper with people's lives for ratings and all you regret if not getting her last days on tape after she'd signed a release.

It was Katrina, and the pathologically hateful reflex behavior of the Right that put me in mind of all of this.

From Ma’ Bush going full Marie Antoinette in front of God and everybody, to Dubya’s drugged, detached, delayed and deluded, “Keep On Truckin’!” response, to Rush to Hannity to Blitzer, right down the line the sudden, unscripted and uncensorable appearance of the lethal price of being poor in America being shown live hour after hour on global teevee caught them completely naked and in the headlights.

Now since they have to sell the scum of the sapient universe to the yokels as down-home, plain-spoken, righteous Good Ol’ Boys election cycle after election cycle, the one thing Team Bush does well is hide their hateful masters behind acres of fake adulation. They are competent and profession only at gift-wrapping: keeping a levee of Potemkin Social Security “town hall folks”, soldier-prop audiences and carefully screened “media” between President Cuckoobanana-Daiquiri and normal human beings.

Katrina flattened that levee too, and for days on end the fetid Right and all of their minions had no spin or talking points to save them. All they had to fall back on was their “Fuck Everyone But Me” ideology, snarling crazy-eyed, unbuffered and uncoiffed straight into the camera for everyone to see.

Being poor was suddenly fatal, and as the bodies bloated and baked in the sun day after day after day, and people were left in their tens of thousands abandoned for no other reason than being poor and black, the GOP Klan seemed incapable of stopping themselves from showing their True Gorgon faces again and again and again.

Which, from reading the polls, seemed to have scared the crap out a whole lot of people.

The poor aren’t “those people” and any Party that makes war on the Poor instead of on Poverty is despicable. Beneath contempt. Because being poor has a lot of causes, but it doesn’t come from a failure of character or being stupid or genetically or morally or theologically inferior.

Being poor is something else entirely, and I have never heard it explained better than by John Scalzi from this article from the Chicago Tribune, which I have excerpted for editorial and fair-use reasons, but which I strongly urge you to go an read in its entirely. **

Because it’s simple and beautiful. Poetry, really, and broke my heart.

BEING POOR

By John Scalzi

September 15, 2005

Being poor is knowing exactly how much everything costs.

Being poor is getting angry at your kids for asking for all the crap they see on TV.

...

Being poor is hoping the toothache goes away.

Being poor is knowing your kid goes to friends' houses but never has friends over to yours.

Being poor is going to the restroom before you get in the school lunch line so your friends will be ahead of you and won't hear you say "I get free lunch" when you get to the cashier.

...
Being poor is hoping your kids don't have a growth spurt.

...
Being poor is feeling the glued soles tear off your supermarket shoes when you run around the playground.

...
Being poor is relying on people who don't give a damn about you.

Being poor is finding the letter your mom wrote to your dad begging him for the child support.

...
Being poor is making lunch for your kid when a cockroach skitters over the bread, and you looking over to see whether your kid saw.

...
Being poor is people angry at you just for walking around in the mall.

Being poor is not taking the job because you can't find someone you trust to watch your kids.

Being poor is the police busting into the apartment right next to yours.

Being poor is not talking to that girl because she'll probably just laugh at your clothes.

...
Being poor is needing that 35-cent raise.

Being poor is your kid's teacher assuming you don't have any books in your home.

Being poor is $6 short on the utility bill and no way to close the gap.

Being poor is crying when you drop the mac and cheese on the floor.

Being poor is knowing you work as hard as anyone, anywhere.

Being poor is people surprised to discover you're not actually stupid.

Being poor is people surprised to discover you're not actually lazy.

...
Being poor is a box of crayons and a $1 coloring book from a community center Santa.

...
Being poor is deciding that it's all right to base a relationship on shelter.

...
Being poor is a cough that doesn't go away.

...
Being poor is knowing where the shelter is.

Being poor is people who have never been poor wondering why you choose to be so.

...
Being poor is people wondering why you didn't leave.

These are the people the GOP cynically pistolwhips for partisan gain while their loathsome acolytes and cheerleaders applaud.

How much lower a person can get than that can only be measured in microns.

Dude, you certainly have an enviable way with words. You nailed it. While there are plenty of assholes right now who still think that the poor deserve their miserable lots in life, I think Katrina has awakened a large group of people who were previously slumbering in a deluded dream state, believing that America's prosperity even benefitted the lowest of the lower class. They believed it was better to be a lower class American than a middle or upper class Third World inhabitant. Then the hurricane hit and "What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes." (I always loved those lines from "Sheep.") They discovered that America had it's own Third World. And despite the damage being confined to the Gulf Coast area, they realized that the Third World can be found everywhere in this country. In every state, every city, and in many, many small towns. And who's to say that other fair cities might not suffer a similar devastating fate, including their own hometowns, especially if they live in states or regions that the ruling party doesn't deem necessary to win elections.

How long this "awakening" will last is uncertain, but if we can get people to paste "Never forget New Orleans" bumper stickers (which I really think someone should create) on their cars next to their "9/11: We will remember" stickers, then maybe it will keep them awake long enough for them to make it to the ballot box in 2006 so we can ALL fire as many of the sons-of-bitches as humanly possible who were even remotely connected to this grossly incompetent, abhorrent, colossal fuck-up.

Here's another possible bumper sticker that might also drive the point home:

Lies, cronyism and corruption KILL.

Another great rant. And John Scalzi's piece brought tears to my eyes. Why is it, as a so-called "Christian" nation, we can't understand and act on these things?

I agree with all you said.

I believe the reason that many Christians and GOP don't understand proverty is that their strict ideologies don't recognize the role of luck (good and bad).

The far-right idealogues take credit for their successess even though they are often just the winners of the genetic lottery game. They confuse good luck for their skill. Nor do they recognize the feedback loop of success that keeps them out of poverty.

They don't want to admit the role of luck in life because that would undermine their belief system and their confidence in telling everyone how to live.

It is too complex for ideologues to explain the role of luck - ideologues (and too many Americans) like the world simple - real simple - creationist simple - Fox and O'Reilly simple - Bush talk simple.

You see Diana there is no such thing as luck. Everything like in the Bible is preordained by the "Christian's" loving God.. By defintion the poor deserve what they get because God ordained it.

The only way left to prop up the See the USA in Your Chevrolet lifestyle is to borrow, cheat, or steal. And our predatory economy is having some pretty unhealthy psychological symptoms along the way to perdition.

If you believe that we live in a meritocracy and you see (and will acknowledge) the distribution of wealth along racial lines, you are, by inescapable conclusion, racist.
That is, if you say:
1. Rewards and penalties are earned.

and

2. Why, yes, there many more pasty white men than black people in positions of wealth and power and a disproportionate number of black people with next to nothing.

then you must believe that those positions are earned and that therefore pasty white men deserve wealth and power and black people deserve deprivation.

Yet people persist in believing we live in a meritocracy.

I work in a school district and have had to make the point to different people that 'everyone's job is important'. Example: Let all the lunchroom ladies or bus drivers decide to call in sick one day and you'll discover just how important their job is. Starting pay? Not even $10000 a year. Be a substitute bus driver for a week (hell, do it for a day) and tell me those people don't work hard.

Damn, Drifty, we must've been separated at birth. Just when I thought I made a half-way original blog entry, I come over to your place and find out that you've already beat me to it.

As usual, you've put it more eloquently than I have the power or wits to after a brain-numbing day at work. But that's no excuse, I know. You cudgel your brains daily, as do we all.

Good work, as usual.

Hey drift,

Just to confirm your allegations of GOP bigotry, I thought an origin of this idea that southerners are racists, and the Party of Lincoln the "Freers of Slaves", needed a little perspective brought into the subject.This was Lincoln's frame of mind BEFORE the War Between The States, The War of the Rich Northern Industrialists, for Central Banks and Corporations against the Southern agrarian (with slave labor furnishing most of the labor) CON Federates.

Your Great Emancipator:

"I will say then that I am not, nor have ever been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters of jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white peoploe; and i will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social equality. And Inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remail together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negroe is to be denied everything." Abraham Lincoln, Charleston, Illinios, September 18, 1858.

No no, let's give 'em a $2000 debit card, and a bus ticket to Texas, wink wink.

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it..."

Abraham Lincoln, August 22, 1862.

So, Drift, would you run by me ONCE more about how the Civil War was this noble exercise by the gallant North to rid the nation of the evil slavery practised by Southerners, please? And not an attempt by the Sons of our Forefathers to invoke the Articles of Federation, and withdraw from the Union, as they had the RIGHT to do?

Please? I need a good laugh today.

Anonymous said...

All right, Farang, I'll see your Lincoln and raise you his Second Inaugural:

One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope--fervently do we pray--that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"

I think Lincoln's opinion evolved a bit over the course of his Presidency. You could not find a more powerful condemnation of slavery than this. I have bolded the two passages that directly refute your assertions about Lincoln earlier.

And moreover, you left off the rest of his "if I could save the union without freeing one slave..." speech; he follows it up by saying something like "this does not change my personal opinion that slavery is an unmitigated evil" (those are not his exact words)

And while you're at it, why don't you google Cornerstone Speech sometime, the one where a member of the Confederate Government specifically refutes "all men are created equal". The Civil War was about slavery, first and foremost, and to pretend otherwise is an act of obfuscation on par with pretending the Holocaust never happened.

jurassicpork said...

It's true that Lincoln never really felt that blacks should own property or marry into polite white society. And we all know that his Emancipation Proclamation was just a thinly disguised need for cannon fodder when it became obvious that the upstart South was actually beginning to win the war. Lincoln was a product of his generation and while he was truly a great man, he wasn't among the greatest like Ben Franklin or Frederick Douglas, men who saw slavery for what it was: An abominable form of commerce by which white men profited off people they owned and abused.

Yet to say that the South wasn't and still isn't racist, that the Civil War wasn't about slavery (which will come as a surprise to Harriet Tubman), is as patently stupid as saying that the Vietnam War wasn't about the Domino Theory, after all.

I've lived in both the north and the south. And, while it may grieve the late, lamented Tanbark to hear me say this, I have to honestly admit that most of the most despicable bigots I've ever met in my life were southerners, people who still blame the black man for holding down jobs in their world that the whites should still own because, 400 years ago their asshole forefathers captured them like so many animals and forced them to come to our shores.

I'm one of the many people who think that the south, although it comprises a huge percentage of our nation, is a national embarrassment, beginning with Texas. And I'm sure that there are still many white supremacist maggots south of the Mason/Dixon line who are still under wraps who would love nothing more than to bring back slavery or get rid of them uppity niggers.

While this is supposition and cannot be taken as gospel, to believe otherwise would be the height of folly. Don't forget, the south is populated by the likes of Trent Lott, Robert Byrd and Jesse Helms, men who've been in the Senate because their constituents in old Dixie liked what they heard.

And let's also not forget how many southern senators refused to co-sponsor Sen. Mary Landrieu's bill apologizing to surviving relatives of lynching victims, beginning with Bill Frist. Let's not forget that, in the now-infamous 2000 election, Alabama became the last state to lift its ban on interracial marriage. And speaking of the least progressive state, let's not forget that, in my lifetime, anyway, George Wallace symbolically standing in front of that door to bar black students from matriculating into his white bread university and, also in my lifetime, Alabama denying blacks, tax-paying, law-abiding people, the right to vote. Don't forget the riots in Selma, the water cannons, the attack dogs, the church bombing in Birmingham. And let's not forget where the KKK originated. It sure as Hell wasn't Boston, Massachusetts. Let's not forget where Bob Jones University is (Greenville, SC). The movie based on the murders of those three civil rights workers wasn't called PENNSYLVANIA BURNING. I could go on and on and on but I hope by now you get the idea. The south is stupid and racist and will be for quite some time.

So do your research, Farang, before you go mouthing off in places where the regulars know better than you.

There's another part to the myth of ultimate personal responsibility. There's a sense of fair play, a sense that there's an unnamed referee somewhere that tries to restate the American Dream to "if you work hard, someone higher up on the ladder than you will help you in your climb."

In today's world of celebrity worship and a widening economic divide, It's like there is the society of the Elect, and the people on the bottom (if you're reading this, you're very probably floating in what's left of the sinking middle class) can, unlike the concept of the Elect from really-real ugly hardcore Calvinism, be raised up by someone "already in the club."

I'm betting this is part of the cult of economic power that's going around. People wanting so much to be there, and believing that if they work hard, and keep heaping praise and adulation on the status quo, that someone else will reward them with that "one big break."

It's a fucking farce. It's humiliating to even contemplate my country reduced to this, let alone the realization that it's been this way for a long time.

I don't think that George Orwell was writing his books about the future. Science fiction is about examining the present place you live, through the lens of an alternative world-view. Orwell was trying to show us were we already were, and now it is the same, writ large.

From George Orwell's Animal Farm:
"All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others.

Norsecats brings the heat, and jeez, Jurassicpork’s muscular takedown leaves me with nothing to do but put pennies on the dead man’s eyes.

From Frederick Douglass’ eulogy for Abraham Lincoln:

“"Viewed from the genuine abolition ground, Mr. Lincoln seemed tardy, cold and indifferent, but measuring him by the sentiment of his country, a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to consult, he was swift, zealous, radical and determined."

Shit, farang, of course there are racists in the North, and everywhere else. I live in Chicago; do you think I don’t notice? But in his ludicrous attempt to pretend that it’s no longer going on, even Kenny-Boy Mehlman has stepped out and tried to apologize for the GOP using the explicitly racist Southern Strategy harvest the votes of bigots and Wallace-lovers.

The Southern Strategy.

Or to crib from Jurassicpork’s most excellent rant, that’s why the movie wasn’t called “Pennsylvania Burning.” (That was sweet, JP.)

drifty, have you ever seen "Black Misery" by Langston Hughes?

It was read to me by an enlightened nun waaaay back in grade school (and say what you want about those ladies, but they KNOW from poor!), and it was an apparent takeoff on "Misery is a Cold Hot Dog" by good ol' Charlie Schulz.

IMHO, I hear a significant resonance to Mr. Hughes in Scalzi's piece.

Keep that blowtorch fueled up!!!!

Hmmm....one source tells me that "Misery is a Cold Hot Dog" was actually a MAD takeoff on Schulz. So that throws the whole possibility of Hughes riffing on it, into some question. (What was that about "memes" again?)

The computers put out by companies nowadays are just getting more and more sophisticated. I just can't keep up with it all the time. Whose got the money to afford buying a computer every single year when there is other things to spend money on like Mortgage company in the uk. Maybe this one computer I have now will last as least 2-3 years, maybe more. The thing is, will this technology every stop continuing? I guess not. Oh well.

Hi: I was looking for information on San Diego liposuction and can upon your site. I'm working on a site about San Diego plastic surgery and looking for any good facts that I might be able to incorporate into my site to really provide an in-depth information source. After reading your Blog, I found it interesting, but, it wasn't what I was looking for. With that said, I must say I've enjoyed reading it. I bookmarked your blog for the future. Well I'm off again in search for San Diego liposuction information.

I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
