“” “” Bernie Sanders is just wrong. If any nation can be credited with doing the most to solve poverty worldwide it is the United States of America.
Oh, and we didn’t massacre tens of millions of people to do it. “” “”
That’s both right and wrong depending on historical perspective.
Well Bernie thinks my perspective is wrong, I'll give you that. Over the entire history of our nation, starting in 1776, there have been some unfortunate massacres by our government. A number during the early years, and during strife with Native American populations. A few more recently, like the shooting at Kent State, the My Lai massacre, and the attack on the Branch Davidian compound in Texas.
But nothing compared to the tens of millions of people massacred by the Chinese Communist government since their revolution in 1949.
When it comes to the alleviation of poverty worldwide the innovations of the United States, our trading with other nations, and our charitable activities have had much more impact than China's policies.
