Our High Standard Of Living Changing Definition Of “Poverty”

Interesting…

In the 1950s and 1960s, a working man could support a family at a middle-class standard of living with just one income. It might surprise you to learn that one person working full-time, even at minimum wage, can still support a family of four at that standard of living. Nowadays we call that “living in poverty.”

I’m sure that will surprise a lot of people, but it’s all a trick that has been played upon us by the politicians.  After all, it’s sort of hard for them to levy more taxes and expand the size and power of government unless they convince a significant chunk of us that we’re victims and cannot possibly get by without government assistance.
