A real poor person, but I work

The writer of the text poses questions to the ladies of the war on poverty about why they don't do more to help poor people. Specifically, the writer asks why these ladies don't tell poor women to stop breeding like rabbits, and why they don't teach them how to use contraception. The writer also asks why there are so many young, healthy men who prefer to live off of welfare rather than work. The writer concludes by saying that a lot of these poor people deserve the misery they complain about.
