Can someone parse this for me? Is it 30% of the 45%? The official poverty rate is 13.5 percent, based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015 estimates. Isn’t 30% more than double 13.5%?

Bonus points to have the “father’s” daily ass-kicking filmed by the kickstarter videographer and shown in endless public loop.

A month of sass and spit and shoving would clear things up real quick, and there would be a detectable drop in the virtue-signaling at the next community meeting.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
