"Why do we insist that if you are poor, you should also be miserable? Why do we require penitence?" writes Stephen Pimpare, lecturer in the Politics & Society program, in The Washington Post.
In the column, Pimpare discusses the root of poverty, dispelling the common notion that "poverty in the United States is, by and large, the result of laziness, immorality and irresponsibility."
