Jonathan Swift- A Modest Proposal

Jonathan Swift has a sick idea. His idea is that we should eat the children of the poor to help economy and control the population. Of course he is proposing this in a jokingly manor. But basically what he is saying is that if the rich feel so horribly about the poor then why don't they just eat the kids, since they are such a failure to economy according to them. The sickening part of all this is that I can assure you some lunatic has thought of this before and if the idea was proposed in a serious manor then the possibility of something similar to the Holocaust may just repeat itself.
