Read this excerpt from Jonathan Swift's A
Modest Proposal.
"... men would become as fond of their wives, during the time of their pregnancy, as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, or sows when they are ready to farrow, nor offer to beat or kick them (as is too frequent a practice) for fear of a miscarriage."
What point is Swift making with this demeaning analogy?
(1 point)
that the poor should be given employment on farms
that the poor are in a position to overthrow the well-off
that the wealthy should take care to never become poor
that the well-off have less regard for the poor than for livestock
