“They taught us to manage money and how to et a good price for our eggs, chickens or pigs. We used to know how to do that -- we weren't dumb; but since we never had any surplus, we had no money to manage. The only money we ever saw went right past us; no sooner had we earned a few cents than they were spent on aspirin . . . those kinds of things.”
