In terse language and with an economy of emotion--now a Bond trademark--he stated matter-of-factly: "With 4 out of 5 people in this country better off today than any others in the rest of the world, we still have black people in this country not only hungry but getting hungrier, and a welfare system that taxes the poor more heavily than the rich...
