"This is not about punishing the poor. It's about encouraging them to lift themselves up, to strive for better, to breathe the air they themselves have harvested and to step onto the surface they themselves have earned access to.

It's about more than just surviving in today's wasteland, it's about thriving, innovating, and carving out a better future for themselves and their fellow citizens. Remember, our goal is not to make life easy for our children, but to make them strong for life." ~Some puritanical politician in the 26th century
