Great article exposing the Leftist economic lie. Poverty measurements (oddly) do not include the main income of the economically challenged.
They point out huge income disparities and call for massive redistribution, but don’t count the trillions already paid through the thousands of programs already in place, and they don’t count the trillions in taxes already taken from the higher earners.
Almost as though it’s intentional, a key component of lying.
Search for any debunk of Piketty for more in this, such as:

Two important points, how your income compares to someone else is not the issue. Secondly stop lying to us when you make those comparisons.
Any free society that has an economic ladder has ‘disparity’. The measurement we’re looking for is upward mobility. How many generations does it take to get out of poverty and OFF OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. The right answer should be less than one. Almost everyone could do it - if we weren’t so busy trying to stop them. And then there would be more resources available for those truly in need. Is that not what an honest liberal would want?
I’m not a Biblical expert but I believe the word of God has more emphasis on giving than taking.
Best comment, and as regards "How many generations does it take to get out of poverty and OFF OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. The right answer should be less than one. Almost everyone could do it - if we weren’t so busy trying to stop them," reminds me of a simple black man who used to come here to get his bike fixed. He grew up in Alabama (or was is Arkansas?) in what they did not know was "poverty." Meaning they lacked for nothing they needed, as they shared what they grew, etc., and if you dissed an adult a neighbor would spank you.
Which would be a considered a fertile field mine for a power hungry SJW, seeking to convince them they were needy victims of injustice, and to turn this society into implacable bitter protesters who are increasingly less industrious and dependent upon the government, thus voters for those who - as professed saviors of the oppressed - promise them largess, thus obtaining the power such professional propagandists pursue.
If you cannot see this as a manifestation of a spiritual war, consistent with the original "Occupy movement" and Share the wealth" demand," then see here.
And make sure you know the ultimate Giver of all that is Good, and who spared not His own Son, and who gave Himself for our sins and the salvation of all who repent and believe (continuous sense).
