“the undeserving poor”
“I'm one of the undeserving poor: thats what I am. […] If theres anything going, and I put in for a bit of it, it's always the same story: "You're undeserving; so you cant have it." But my needs is as great as the most deserving widow's that ever got money out of six different charities in one week for the death of the same husband. I dont need less than a deserving man: I need more.”
