Well yeah...but..well..that's just not true. The poor are used and abused in a thousand ways in our society..and shame is a constant part of it. Just ask people their opinion of welfare and those on it. Just ask people what they really think of the homeless.There is no shame in being poor.
Poor people get it every day..the sidelong glances--the look of superiority in the eyes of a driver passing a guy with a sign.
One should not be ashamed to have no money..but we are taught from an early age to look down on broke folk. They do notice it..and they do feel shame...and anger.
