A columnist for the NYtimes, Charles M. Blow's editorial on GOP candidate hopeful Newt Gingrich is a scathing one. Charles M. Blow claims that Gingrich believes "that poor children don’t understand work unless they’re doing something illegal". Blow also quotes Gingrich to saying that poor children don't work because everyone around them in surrounding areas also have a lazy work ethic. Blow suggests underlying currents of racism in Gingrich's ideology as many of these "poor kids" he talks about come from suffocating ghettos.
