Abstract
Addresses the question In a society with two dominant political groups or parties one conservative and one liberal which one is the more likely source of aid for the nonwhite poor Analyzes bestcase arguments on behalf of the poor for each of the two groups and concludes that the impoverished should withhold automatic loyalty toward either but rather force both to compete for their support and votes In particular the poor and marginalized should be open to the possibility that the right may offer them more value than the moderate left
