Take a look at Jane Devin’s blog, especially this piece on the attitudes of the middle class toward the poor.
I don’t know who she is, but she writes good stuff.

Devin’s piece is good. It probably won’t surprise you when I say that many people in a well-known Christian charitable organization with which I’m extremely familiar have exactly the attitudes she describes. It boggles my mind how they can be immersed in that organization and hold the attitudes they hold toward the poor. Talk about cognitive dissonance!
Religion makes people stupid. It amazes me that anyone gets out alive. Who do you have to bribe to escape?
