Well I have to give them credit for some truth in selling this nonsense (while some of the lyrics are misleading, the title "Forget About The Price Tag" is actually spot on). Erin McDonald is also Rule 5 worthy so this song has that going for it too.

CHARLIE MARTIN: The End of Poverty in America: Figures don’t lie.
According to a Cato Institute study published last year, the combined expenditures for Federal and state governments directed to means-tested public assistance — “welfare” — is approximately $1 trillion (yes, with a “T”) a year.Indeed.
There are approximately 48 million people in the US with incomes at the poverty level or below.
The application of advanced mathematics — long division, and I did it in my head thank you very much — tells us that’s about $21,000 per person per year. Obviously, that’s $84,000 for a family of four.
That’s got a problem, though. According to the 2013 Federal Poverty Guidelines, the poverty level for a family of four is $23,950. The total of $84,000 is roughly 380 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.
Obviously, there’s no poverty left in America.
Unless, of course, that money isn’t actually being spent on the poor people at all. I wonder where it goes?

I don't believe that's her singing. At the very least, the video is dubbed, because the acoustics don't match the room. If this is the winning song, it doesn't seem like there was much competition. I also would think for all the negative attention the website model got; I wouldn't be rushing out to make my name off supporting it.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it is dubbed. But that title is parody worthy, it is amazing they did pick it. But there are a lot of true believers out there.
DeleteThe thing is how many twenty year olds are going to drop $400+ a month for health insurance with a high deductible? Not many. If they get insurance through work, great, otherwise they are going to wing it and go without. I say that because that is what many twenty somethings did before Obamacare. Now the insurance available is actually more expensive with higher deductibles, so it is better to take the mandate hit (which is delayed a year anyway) than get the insurance. Heck the mandate only comes out of your tax refund anyway.
You mean this submission didn't win?
ReplyDeleteCrazy isn't it, but they did not modify it to Da One!
