Which is where social safety nets, socialized medicine, and a stronger minimum wage come into play, but this same economic think tank as argued against all of them.

They've been on record, numerous times, arguing against benefits to the poor/poorest, and now suddenly we've meant to believe that they're looking out for the poor when it also benefits the wealthiest for the poor to sacrifice themselves?

Seems more than a little disingenuous if you look at whom we're discussing here.

But the concept is run by Libertarians. The philosophy is rooted in the belief that avarice is greatest good.

They don't actually care about the poor.
