If you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps, please do. But these Brownback policies… I saw them hit the most when I learned about race and poverty in our state. I’ve become a little bit more broadened by my experience dealing with impoverished folks, the systemic cycle of multigeneration poverty, those living in poverty. I’ve seen, they don’t even have bootstraps to pull themselves up by. It’s quite different than what my white, middle-class upbringing led me to believe.
