That guy in the video is a crank. I watched the first eight minute (until he brings out a poverty graph). He a)leaves out the massive reduction of poverty in the US in the first half of the twentieth century and b) brushes off Social Security's massive success in reducing the elderly's poverty rate.

You stopped watching when he brought out a poverty graph? Did you think the data was wrong?

He wasn't arguing about the elderly's poverty rate. It's not relevant to the video.
