Question

Why did Harburg write “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”

Answer 1

To tell the story behind the question that so many people asked on the streets

Answer 2

To show the irony between the fact that immigrants were working really hard to improve America but had nothing to show for it.  Even though they worked so hard they were still so poor they had to beg.
