It is considered extremely unenlightened to suggest that prosperity Is intrinsically related to the ability to produce goods and services which have value in the marketplace. To hear them tell it. one would imagine that when the first settlers arrived and found themselves In need. they began searching for the nearest legal services office to find out who had deprived them of their promised affluence. Nor did the immigrants who came to America in the great waves of the late 19th and early 20th centuries have the benefit of a legal services establishment. At this point legal services backers will say that I am engaging in ridiculous hyperbole. for everyone knows that it is not the early settler but a new creature known as "modern urban man." who is somehow to be considered deprived and exploited whenever money and other "goodies" do not rain down upon him from the sky. My own experience has taught me that the poor are not a class apart but that to a large extent they share the same customs. values. and objectives as the rest of society.
