"For so long, #politics has been about #fear, about scapegoating & punishing the #impoverished & the #struggling. Now something else has reared its head. It’s called #hope."

A quotation from Oscar Wilde

Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish poet, wit, dramatist
