A group of activists knocked on doors Saturday afternoon on the Main Line, asking residents to consider redistributing large portions of their wealth to poor, homeless and indigenous people.

Their efforts are part of a national tour dubbed "The Stolen Land/Hoarded Resources tour" in which poor people walk through rich neighborhoods and ask residents to redistribute wealth or begin a dialogue on the concept of so-called community reparations.

It might make one long for the old days when the underclass was periodically wiped out by famine because they were not fed by the wealthy as they are now.

My mom’s cousin’s grandson, was born about 20 years ago with a major heart defect.

He spent almost an entire year, about 4 years ago, between C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Helen Devos Children’s Hospital.

Both top notch hospitals, because of wealthy, generous people.

Chicago has The University Of Chicago, Comer’s Children’s Hospital
And
Children’s Memorial Hospital, now called Lurie Children’s Hospital

From what I can tell Comers gave $84 million and Lurie’s gave $100 million.

This is Cultural Revolution intimidation: ‘We know who you are and we know where you live and we know if you share your ill-gotten wealth with the poor.’

You might think that satisfactory until you found that your own ancestors were among the underclass. Most people’s were.

And it was, of course, the poor who fed the wealthy.

Perhaps yours were, mine were not.

Yes, my ancestors were of the underclass.

And I can confidently state that so were the forebears of the majority of Americans, since until the Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of Europeans sprang from the agrarian peasantry.

That's why we might find it morally and intellectually repugnant when somebody "longs for the old days when the underclass was periodically wiped out by famine..." You might be cursed by one of your great-grandfathers.
