That’s legislation. I’m talking about their mindset and attitude towards the unemployed and hungry. Smoot-Hawley was bad legislation no doubt but not done because its writers were out of touch assholes who had no idea what the average American was going through.

poverty = moral failing

not having enough food because government paycheck cancelled = also moral failing
