Mammy (next girl) runs 2 sides. Mary (next) runs 1½ sides. Elic (oldest boy) works regularly. Eddie (next girl) helps in mill, sticks on bobbins. Four smallest children not working yet. The mother said she earns $4.50 a week and all the children earn $4.50 a week. Husband died and left her with 11 children. Two of them went off and got married. The family left the farm two years ago to work in the mill." Photo and caption by Lewis Wickes Hine.

2. The view by the repukes is that they all all just one brilliant idea away from

being millionaires. While the Dems understand reality and just want food on the table, decent working conditions and living wage.

They all think they are horatio alger and can pull themselves up by their "bootstraps" when in fact the red states are the biggest users of government support.
