I found this video in my stream with the heading titled..
If You Think Only Poor People Are On Welfare, Wait Till You See What These Guys Do With It
It caught my attention. I thought hmm...the non-poor are on welfare too?
I got about 5:20 seconds in, and then I saw the fuzzy math, and silly spin they put on things.
Around 5:20, the video narrator states that tax deductions are subsidies, and basically on the same level as welfare handouts.
RED FLAG...RED FLAG......
Wait, it's a subsidy to let you keep the money you earn?
That pivot at 5:20 sets the tone for the rest of the video.
It speaks of the government "spending money" on the rich.
But is the government really "spending money" on the rich, or is it simply letting the rich keep their money?
It's hard to tell what the narrator means, but from the "logic" around 5:20, I'm thinking they mean a tax cut is a subsidy.
Have a watch and tell me what you think.
Is the government really handing out money to the rich, or is this just a matter of letting the rich keep the money they earn?
Fuzzy math or real math?
Pay attention to the 5:20 thought pivot.
