Hi,
I created this youtube video to debunk Sanders' false message. I feel he is the most dangerous candidate, as he wants to dramatically increase spending and taxes. His policy recommendations are NOT based on facts, and I feel it is important to at least inform people with the truth.
Please give me a chance and share it.
Succinctly...... The poor are NOT getting poorer. Measurements that Sanders and others use just falsely indicate this. The Census Bureau measurement of poverty DID indicate an accurate measurement of a poor quality of life in 1970; that is no longer the case. Employers to a large degree gave cash-only benefits. The same is true for the government. The census bureau measurement of poverty and traditional measurements of income only focus on taxable income. Unfortunately, they never updated these measurements as employers and the government gave increasingly more benefits that were non-taxable.
Ask yourself three questions to prove or disprove my assertion. Sanders claims that the poor are getting poorer, so from 1970 until today:
1. Shouldn't fewer of the poor have vehicles today?
2. Shouldn't the poor be hungrier today?
3. Shouldn't the poor have less things, in general?
The "poor" have far more vehicles, calories in their stomachs, and stuff in general than they did 40 years ago.
Tim Worstall agrees with my premise

Thanks

in the old days what the poverty line was really measuring is the number of people who were poor after the things we did to reduce poverty. Today that same poverty line is measuring the number of people who are poor before all the things we do to reduce poverty.

It’s worth noting that the four major poverty reduction programs are Medicaid, SNAP, EITC and Section 8 vouchers. And we include none of them, not one single groat of that money spent, in our current estimates of poverty.
