A Modest Proposal

This proposal by Jonathan Swift is really crazy!! This proposal talks about women and even children begging in the streets to get to where they need to be. The mothers have to beg for money their little helpless babies instead of getting a job and as the children grow up, they either become thieves or leave their country. Another thing that he's proposing is that the parents will contribute to the Feeding and partly to the Clothing which will prevent abortions. I guess what he's trying to say is that having more children costs, so having them do a job will stop that. Everything of what Swift is saying about how the people should do their job is crazy. I think that he went after the lower class was because of they're standards. He's making alot of expectations for the poor to change the way they're living and to me, i don't thingk that this proposal is the right thing.
