From the artile “Unfortunately, there are far more poor people than wealthy ones. America is the world’s most visible case of that. A small number of people in the US control most of the income, wealth, and property. More than one in eight people live below the poverty level and that number has grown recently.”

What A pant load this is. Th entire article is absolutely stupid.

Yes, the wealthiest people in the World live in America, for the most part. Yes, many more people than that earn less than the poverty level. However, Our poor are by far the wealthiest poor in the World.They are the fattest Poor people you will ever see. Most ‘POOR’ in this country own a car, have color TV with cable, have their own bed, live in a home or apartment with Air conditioning, own a DVD and some sort of video game system .\\

The ‘POOR’ in this country live like the upper middle class and wealthy in most countries.

Te fact is that there will always be poor and rich. In a conservative capitalist society a person can move between the classes.

It is imposible to look at a group of high earners or high net value people in this country and tell where they started out in life. That can not vbe said of many countries.

There are no poor people in this country. People in Haiti are poor, the “poorest” American would live like a king in Haiti.

re: Our poor are by far the wealthiest poor in the World

Exactly! And there has never been a country where it’s worked out like the socialist mind would have you believe is the correct way. In every socialist country you have the elite who have what the upper class has in a capitalist country.

I would much rather be poor in America than rich in a lot of countries around the world!

Quick, import a few million more third-worlders. We can easily get that ratio up to one in seven.
