Twelfth, the poor facilitate and stabilize the American political process. Because they vote and
participate in politics less than other groups, the political system is often free to ignore them.
Moreover, since they can rarely support Republicans, they often provide the Democrats with a
captive constituency that has no other place to go. As a result, the Democrats can count on their
votes, and be more responsive to voters - for example, the white working class - who might
otherwise switch to the Republicans.
Thirteenth, the role of the poor in upholding conventional norms (see the fifth point, above) also
has a significant political function. An economy based on the ideology of laissez faire requires a
deprived population that is allegedly unwilling to work or that can be considered inferior because it
must accept charity or welfare in order to survive. Not only does the alleged moral deviancy of the
poor reduce the moral pressure on the present political economy to eliminate poverty but socialist
alternatives can be made to look quite unattractive if those who will benefit most from them can be
described as lazy, spendthrift, dishonest and promiscuous.
