THE PARADOX. So, on the one hand, we have a nation that does not take poverty seriously (as per E.J. Dionne), and on the other, a public that thinks Democrats are excessively focused on the poor at the expense of the middle class (as per Elizabeth Warren). I have my own thoughts about how these two phenomena might be related, but I'm curious to hear reader's explanations.
