Reply #6: It is and isn't an argument

[TayTay]

One of the best friends working Americans ever had was FDR. He was not poor, had a very, very privileged upbringing and did more to raise the living standards of ordinary Americans than just about anyone else in American history. His Social Security program single-handedly lifted millions of senior citizens from abject poverty to a better standard of living.

The argument has meaning when actions don't follow deeds. Otherwise, I want people who walk the walk as well as talk the talk. I don't care where they grew up or if they had 'silver spoon' families. Actions and stands matter to me more than that.
