The “Poverty” Swindle
Warren Meyer does his usual superb job in cataloging the mass of lies that always go into this sort of thing — always. But be my guest; you’re always welcome to keep being the leftists’ fools. It’s the only way they can possibly survive and operate. Without fools, both parties would cease to exist of course; by my bet is the democrats would collapse first.
To state it another way: that "99%" of politicians lie about "99%" of the time is not causal; not at all. It’s not even necessarily harmful, taken alone. What’s causal, and what makes it harmful is that you, dear American, believe it most of the time.
Are you one of their perfect fools; their very own useful idiot?
