Thoughts from a barefoot woman:
Again, this is an interesting dichotomy…we laud the warrior support of a presumed underclass in other countries, where our tax dollars fund the killings, murders, assassinations and unnecessary deathes of people we have little contact with (outside of our own political and economic incursions) , while despising our own forced “underclass”.
How come we can never pull overselves up by our own boot straps?
Could it be that not all of us have boots?
And why is that?

Could perhaps one of the reasons some don’t have boots be because the incentive they might naturally have to go out and get them has been removed, and because any effort to reclaim their natural yearning is ridiculed and disparaged by their very peers? Ask Bill Cosby if you’re not sure.

How dare we call ouselves a super power and treat the least among us in such an awful way. Since when is life is cheap, get a job, and corporations have human rights the standards by which we define ourselves?

The Politics of Disposability is an appropriate title for the attack on poor people and the powerless.
Binary frameworks that are used to distinguish the privileged from the dispossessed, the powerful from the powerless, when used in the service of domination, always manage to reverse the terms.
Poor people, for example, who are abandoned by societies institutions are later described as abandoning themselves. In other words, those who have the least resources are expected to take most of the blame.
It is also apt to connect this to the larger political realm. The people who are destroyed by the thousands by massive military assaults are the ones who are deemed the terrorists rather the victims. Although terrorism has been recognized as a form of asymmetrical warefare - a reaction to a more vicious and pernicioius form of violence - is deemed the most terrifying of them all.
