Where a normal, objective person would see a TFP member that isn't on the site 24 hours a day, you see intellectual dishonesty. Don't you know any other tunes?

We already know poverty rates leading up to the New Deal because they were one of the primary needs for it, I suspect you probably learned about in in high school like I did. Since you didn't google it, I'll spoil the surprise: the records of senior citizen poverty before 1900 are not readily available via search engine. Still, that's 30 years between then and the New Deal that we saw people unable to plan for their future, through economic boom and economic depression. AND we have new man, someone clearly in the business of protecting people's investments for the future, laying out the fact that regardless of what economic conservatives might think not everyone is capable of saving for their retirement on their own.
