Fielding and Swift

If Fielding and Swift were able to be a part of the culture today, I believe they would be in amazement that their exact texts are being played digitally for the whole world to see. Further they would most likely be horrified at the reaction of the public for being so accepting of the behavior. I believe Fielding would agree that today the low people would be those outside of politics and government, common everyday people and the High people would be those who are a part of the government making decisions, just and unjust, on behalf of the masses. If I were to attempt Swifts Modest Proposal to today's times, I would propose an auction of today's Immigrant families. For those families attempting to enter the country, I would propose the following: In order to enter the country parents must offer their children to be auctioned off to upper class families that would raise them up to be quality model citizens and not rapists, murderers, and drug dealers that they would grow up to be if we let them into the country and raise them themselves. Therefore, once the children are auctioned off to upper class families, the families will be forced into slave labor, so they can benefit the economy and not take advantage of healthcare and government assistance. Furthermore, the immigrant parents will further push county’s national debt down because we will pay them little to nothing to build the economy. The parents that are not used as slave workers will be trained for our military and replace those soldiers overseas, so we can save our good American men and women to be the faces of our society and not risk their lives for foreign affairs. As ridiculous of a proposal Swift presented, his argument was solid and bullet proof having an answer for the poverty of the Irish.
