Child poverty is the real problem. https://peoplespolicyproject.org/2018/02/16/americas-bizarre...

Geez, that article really felt light on examination, then bam, "the solution is obvious, tax the rich more!"

And why wouldn't they compare the US to other countries like Canada, Germany, UK, France, etc. ? We all already know that the Nordic countries really have their act together and are effectively a cherry picked example.

Maybe I'm being paranoid but is this what fake news looks like? The whole point of the article seems to be to further the "tax the rich" argument.

OK, so what's the workaround to read this behind a paywall?
