Oh okay, so no regulations and manufacturing means no poor people? So we never had any poor people before the 20th century?Manufacture again and take some of the worthless regulations off and allow technology to spread via a more free market society.
Fewer poor people and they were not living off the government...then again back then they could raise their own food without the federal government using the commerce clause(thats a regulation) to shut them down. You want to paint this pretty picture of government being nice and you ignore what government has done bad. Same thing can be said about health care ...when a government subsidizes anything it drives the price up for everyone else.Oh okay, so no regulations and manufacturing means no poor people?

LOL.Fewer poor people
Like I said, you seem to just make **** up as you go along.In the late 1800s, 30 to 50 percent of families were in poverty. In 1950 the poverty rate was about 30 percent?or twice the current level. The century-long trend in poverty shows clear improvement.
So why do we pay twice what other countries that have fully socialized healthcare pay per person?Same thing can be said about health care ...when a government subsidizes anything it drives the price up for everyone else.
Does 40+ % of their population not pay taxes? Do they pay higher tax rates as a whole? Do they have doctor shortages? Do WE subsidize their technology? Do WE subsidize their prescription drugs?LOL.
Google Answers: Poverty Rate in US
Wow Google answers! What was considered poverty in the 1800's??? What is considered poverty now? Could you get by on the median income back in 1890? Did you need that income because you could raise your own food? Did people need electricity back then or could they more openly burn wood to heat their homes? Total population of the USA in 1890 was 62,947,714, 30% of that is 19 million roughly, now our population is 308,745,538, 2009 poverty rate of 14.3% equals more than 44 million people in poverty now, even if you go by the 50% mark you are still well short based on actual numbers of people in poverty. You try to mash statistics as actual numbers which means you also fail at statistics as well as comprehension of ways poverty may be measured in different time periods. Going off of your use of statistics China's poverty level went way down recently....you would also be ignoring the fact they lowered the bar on what they called poverty. If you would like I can bastardize statistics just like you do to make you look like more of an idiot within the same context you just tried to bastardize what I said. What could you get with 6 dollars back in 1890? What can you get for 6 bucks now? Did they have unemployment and food stamps in 1890? Could a person afford to sit around on their ***** and wait for a government hand out in 1890? If you lived on a small farm in 1890 were you considered living below poverty?
Like I said, you seem to just make **** up as you go along.
I don't know what I am talking about? Yet you throw around these statistics and you do not know jack shit on what the figures mean
So why do we pay twice what other countries that have fully socialized health care pay per person?
Do you ever actually answer a question instead of just asking 10 other questions?Does 40+ % of their population not pay taxes? Do they pay higher tax rates as a whole? Do they have doctor shortages? Do WE subsidize their technology? Do WE subsidize their prescription drugs?
No and the reason I don't is because you are one of those idiots who tries to define everything in an argument and bastardize it into what you want. You already have shown you do not know much about what you repeat. I am starting to think you have feathers and your favorite thing to say is "Proximity want a cracker".Do you ever actually answer a question instead of just asking 10 other questions?
And yet you only brought up 5? Oh my goodness.There were actually 15 questions in that last rant of yours.
