That America has arranged to have more people on welfare – Gingrich’s | |||
dreaded “underclass” – than any other industrialized country is a clue to why | |||

of any in history – has more women and children living in poverty than any other | |||
industrialized nation. Nor is it coincidental that the world’s wealthiest country | |||
has the highest child homicide rate and the most newborn boys [[circumcised]], both indices of society’s hostility towards children.<ref name="demause1996">{{REFjournal | |||
