Only if you want to look like an idiot when someone points out that if we had the “poverty” rate today, that we had in 1959, the number would be 70.6 million people.
No one is going to do that.
One of the reasons our side has had a time of it is that our side often doesn't explain these facts using the more provocative tone.
Instead, we don our green eye shades and drone out the cold hard facts.
No matter how technically accurate, look where that has gotten us.
