Ooh, Nicholas Kristof hits it out of the park with this one! To me, such outrage at a doting mom based on her appearance suggests the myopic tendency in our country to blame poverty on the poor, to confuse economic difficulties with moral failures, to muddle financial lapses with ethical ones... It’s true, of course, that the poor are sometimes lazy and irresponsible. So are the rich, with less consequence... There is an income gap in America, but just as important is a compassion gap. nytimes/2014/03/02/opinion/sunday/kristof-the-compassion-gap.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0
