Modest Proposal #6

People actaully would benifit from Swifts idea. English landlords would benifit because the Irish would have some money to pay owed money. The Irish themselves would benifit because they would get payed, however no amount of money can honestly pay for taking ones child to be eaten. The Irish would lose more then they gained in my opinion. The Economy would be a all around better for the entire nation. Ontop of the that, theivery would become much less of a problem. Children who have to steal to survive were a common thing back then. With less hungry children on the streets the English wouldent have to constantly make sure they werent about to be pick pocketed. The people who would mostly benifit from Mr. Swifts idea from being accepted would be the English. The Irish may have money, but losing their children to greedy English landlords so they can consume them could never be replaced with money.
