Examples of widows in a Sentence

  1. The President:

    Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America, at first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of 3-year-old orphans. That doesn't seem so tough to me.

  3. Frank Chodorov:

    At first it was the incomes of corporations, then of rich citizens, then of well-provided widows and opulent workers, and finally the wealth of housemaids and the tips of waitresses. This is all in line with the ability to pay doctrine. The poor, simply because there are more of them, have more ability to pay than the rich.

  4. Thomas Sowell:

    The question is not what anybody deserves. The question is who is to take on the God-like role of deciding what everybody else deserves. You can talk about 'social justice' all you want. But what death taxes boil down to is letting politicians take money from widows and orphans to pay for goodies that they will hand out to others, in order to buy votes to get re-elected. That is not social justice or any other kind of justice.

  5. Zannah Mustapha:

    In the traditional African setting, when the husband dies, the wife is as vulnerable as the child, so, we created the widows program and give them livelihood skills such as tailoring,( jewelry) making, and then a host of other activities.
