Not really considering that the edit in question contained the information
that economic conditions in the United States did not markedly improve for
the poor in the United States during Ronald Reagan's administration. This is
a true statement which looks at a matter from a legitimate point of view.
Removing such a valid statement to make things look better than they were is
a violation of NPOV. NPOV contemplates fair statement of all significant
points of view regarding a matter. Removing a legitimate point of view which
interferes with the point of view which you wish to present is a violation
of Wikipedia policy.

If including it was a NPOV violation, then so was deleting it.
It's an NPOV violation to remove an NPOV violation? That's a novel
argument.
