Re: Pardon my borked HTML.
I'm not saying that he's ignorant of poverty, I'm just saying that work has always come easy to him, because he is one smart cookie, an excellent lawyer, and people tend to give him a break because of his blindness. Luke Cage, on the other hand, is far from dumb, but he doesn't have the sort of book learnin' that DD had due to his father's efforts. He's pretty much a dude from the streets who's led a life from paycheck to paycheck and usually lets his fists do the thinking, which is a mindset pretty foreign to Murdock. So yeah, 'if I can do it, why can't they?' is a pretty good summation.
