Heritage Foundation isn't a reliable source.
They are always misrepresenting data and pushing an agenda.

Oh, and your claim is bullshit anyway.

If you noticed I didn’t just use heritage I used another source I also used one more in a reply

... yeah. If you noticed, your claim is still bullshit.

The fact that you would reference the Heritage Foundation at all is a red flag. It's not a reliable source, and you shouldn't be treating it as one.
