Howard Zinn Quote
A New York Times/CBS News poll conducted in early 1992 showed that public opinion on welfare changed depending on how the question was worded. If the word welfare was used, 44 percent of those questioned said too much was being spent on welfare (while 50 percent said either that the right amount was being spent, or that too little was being spent. But when the question was about assistance to the poor, only 13 percent thought too much was being spent, and 64 percent thought too little was being spent.
