Bad luck =/= bad character?

"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those who let people die, not those who struggle to live."

- Sarah Kendzior, journalist and author (b. 1978)
