Q:   What are the oppressors doing? (Dad)
A:   "They're beating people and grinding faces of the poor." (Kenyon)  "Yes, they are persecuting the Lord's people and making life difficult for the poor. And just because people say they want to help the poor doesn't mean that actually are. A lot of the ideas and policies pushed by people trying to help the poor actually hurt them. 

Q:   What is the Lord's way of helping the poor, which He taught about using a saying about fish? (Dad)
A:   "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." (Kenyon)  "That's exactly right. That's the Lord's way of helping the poor - help them to become self-sufficient so they can provide for themselves. Others who claim to want to help the poor, especially those in power claim to want to help the poor but what they want is to give the poor fish so that they are dependent on them and will vote and keep them in power."  (Dad)
