I stand corrected! And am very glad to be, too. Yes, that last word's the rub though, in't it? Still, maybe the rash of Secret Millionaire/Benefits Street-style rich/poor-divide themed shows will reignite the argument in a manner which will genuinely cause more of those who have the influence and power to consider doing something about it? I'm not saying it's the responsibility of the rich to help the poor; that's tantamount to communism (I know it isn't really!
), but it isn't the responsibility of the masses to elect a representative to go and be gilded & corrupted at our expense and tolerate it either.*
*That may be a straw man, but really it's not meant to be a direct comparison. And nor am I too convinced that a discussion on the Babeshows Forum will change the outlook for society's underclass. *Cue outrage*
