Jean Swanson shows how people with power and money attack the poor.
* Poor-bashing means ignoring facts and repeating stereotypes about
people who are poor.
* Poor-bashing means having your reality and perceptions denied by people
with more money than you have.
* Poor-bashing means living in terror that someone will take your children.

twenty-five years.
