What do you think about the Poor Law?

I also thinks it deals with the failure to recognize the hopelessness that goes along with the poverty. A person of middle class values can easily say--why can't they just work for it...but in reality, the lower classes have a tendency to live with a sense of dispair and overwhelming feelings

I think in many ways your conclusion is true

I think the Poor Law was great. If a person has nothing to contribute to society, why should society have to support that person? The unemployed are nothing but a burden on society.

But to explain my understanding about this law, I have to refer to Darwin. The world can only support so many people, and the weak people will be the first to go.
