That just sounds nutty. But wait — this isn’t any ordinary massage. And it’s not in any ordinary place.

Uncle Willie was a farmer, and I remember eating fried chicken for breakfast, along with eggs and ham and grits and biscuits and red-eye gravy. I remember the farm animals, the tractor and cultivating implements, the barn and the wonderful smells of freshly-plowed earth.

The rich deserve to be rich because they work hard; they have a Calvinist work ethic. The poor deserve to be poor because they are lazy and uneducated; it is punishment for their poor character.
