Poverty is seen as a moral failure by people who think being wealthy denotes moral superiority. Which is the exact sort of hybrid moral/civic philosophy that was embraced by WASPS’s, white Anglo Saxon Protestants, who were America’s elites up until the 60’s. Well one can argue the dates. Shaw nor anyone destroyed that myth. Instead it just sort of faded. Replaced by simply eliminating the moral part and embracing the idea, made fact, that the wealthy are superior, full stop. Thus we have Donald Trump. The greatest leader the world has seen since Alexander the Great. Even IM is in the thrall of his genius which has all Trump’s words having deep inner meanings as he plays 11 dimensional chess with us mere mortals.
