Time and time again, what you’ll find is that the freer people are, the less central power there is in #government, the richer they are. And, it's amazing when you look at the progress we have. There's a website called HumanProgress.org, and, if you look at #poverty over the last 200 years, it's amazing what we're doing to poverty. In 1820, 90% of the world lived on less than $2 a day. When I was born in the early 1960s, it was down to a third of the world living in extreme poverty. Today, less than 10%—including all of the poorest countries you can imagine—less than 10% of the world in extreme poverty. That's because of #capitalism and #freedom and #trade.” #RandPaul cites data from @CatoInstitute project @humanprogressorg on The #DailyShow with #TrevorNoah Learn more the link in our bio!
