Liza Doolittle's Dad said:
I'm one of the undeserving poor, that's what I am. Now think what that means to a man. It means that he's up against middle-class morality for all of time. If there's anything going, and I puts in for a bit of it, it's always the same story: "you're undeserving, so you can't have it." But my needs is as great as the most deserving widows that ever got money out of six different charities in one week for the death of the same 'usband. I don't need less than a deserving man, I need more! I don't eat less 'earty than 'e does, and I drink, oh, a lot more.
Nobody "deserves" my money but me. Hard-hearted libertarian-anarchist that I am, I'd liked to abolish all government, and all taxes and welfare along with it, but at least I wouldn't gloat over the corpses of all those "undeserving poor."
