Rand Paul says there are no poor people

Well, he kind of says that, in defense of tax cuts for the richest Americans. In fact, the libertarian U.S. politician said:

Here is Steven Colbert, framing the issue, with questions such as this one:

"If a poor family falls on hard times in the woods, and nobody is there to care - then did it really happen?"

And don't forget to watch the little notes on the right hand side, as he speaks. (Some people have said they can't access the video; this link might help.)
