It’s thesis is that "the homeless are a manifestation of the failure of capitalism to care for the disadvantaged and truly needy, which always happens when a society becomes morally and ethically bankrupt."

That evening, after dinner, he sits down in the living room with it and begins reading. Soon his eyeballs begin to glaze over. Try as he might, he can’t seem to get any pictures in his mind as it wrestles with the abstract words that fill the pages. After a half hour or so, he puts the book down, planning to pick it up and continue when he’s not as tired.But that time never comes.

The same thing happens to Tom Jones, a salesman and a college graduate.

And to Bill Miller, the CEO of a large research company and the holder of a PhD degree.

But it doesn’t happen to Jim Clark, who's a high school dropout and who now lives in the streets.

Or to Butch Beamon, who never finished grade school and who now sells dope.

You see, neither of them even tries to read "A National Disgrace," being totally convinced that he’s not sufficiently educated to even begin to understand it.

It takes someone with a high school or college degree, they believe, someone who works in an office or is a salesman or is the CEO of a large company to be able to comprehend such an important book.

And it must be an important book. After all, it is a best-seller.

Think about it.
