2 Nephi 26:22* "Grind the face of the poor"

*clearly quoting Isaiah here.

Grind (v) to reduce to small particles or dust by crushing

Face is our outward appearance. It is how we express ourselves to other people. "Saving face" is all about preserving dignity. Grinding the face of the poor is all about removing from the poor the ability to express who they are to others. It removes all their dignity.

How am I guilty of this?
