I don't buy unsupported Libertarian tripe such as that opinion piece.
America of the 19th century was rife with poverty, child labor, roving bands of street urchins and orphans, and repeated financial depressions and panics throwing millions out of work and into the streets time and time again. It was not the comman man's paradise these two would have you believe.

They didn't have penicillin, electricity or television either, dipstick. Was that because welfare didn't exist?
Government programs don't improve our standard of living. They never have.
