Do u mean of saying " Clothes" = Rich man &
"Naked" = Poor people
?!
No, Twain was just making a joke.
He wasn't referring to poor people, he was just joking that [naked] people running around with no clothes on have "no influence on society" [probably because they'd be locked up in jail for being crazy!]

Oh !! I've never expect that saying was just a joke . I've never heard it before.
Yes, what you said now is true. I agree with that.
I like "reckon" and "reckoning" personally. It's a very multi-purpose and useful word. Don't hear it too much around me though. Is it a regional thing? .
I know it's quite commonly used by the British, but in the US, is it midwestern, southern etc.? It seems generally rural-sounding to me.
