15. Your claim re "efficient living" being only for the wealthy is not true

As pointed out in the CAP study that disproves it and my previous post, that claim is a right wing meme. I have no idea why you would seek to promote it even after being shown undeniable evidence it isn't true.

I have no opinion regarding your infatuation with one of the most corrupt politicians of the 20th century. Economic populism is a tool that many demagogues gravitate towards and, having lived in the deep south (including time in both Louisiana and Mississippi) I don't see any trace of actual progressive economic policies there. What I do see is continued corruption and unceasing populist rhetoric and scapegoating of any available target during any given election cycle.
