Can it really be the case that these ostensibly civilized 21st century Westerners believe that a child born to rich parents deserves a better education, more nutritious food, more secure shelter and better healthcare than a child born to poor parents? Talk about entitlement mentality, This is a very good example of something for nothing, because let's face it - a newborn child contributes absolutely nothing to society.

Jeff Dorchen defends those with the least - long a punching bag of fiscal conservatism - by suggesting far more useful punching bags, such as babies, gladiators, terrorists, leech-like financiers, the everturning wheel of karmic economics, and the most punchable of all punching bags, NPR's vacationing, baguette chewing flagship anchor Robert Siegel.
