I once challenged my Republican Congressman John Doolittle that I would vote for him if he read Jonathan Swift’s “Modest Proposal” into the Congressional Record.
His Aide had never heard of it.
(Spoiler alert: He Didn’t, and I Didn’t.)
I think he was also the one who told me only a small minority worked for Minimum Wage, and they didn’t “need to work” because they were kids, working for “fun money”.
