RE: This country has the world’s richest and fattest poor people!
Yeah, and that’s a totally different issue altogether.
POVERTY is RELATIVE. A lot of people in the world would RISK THEIR LIVES to be a poor person in America ( Did I mention that 80 percent of poor households have air conditioning, 92 percent of poor households have a microwave and nearly 2/3 have cable TV?).
However, the point of this article is this — The Poor DO NOT always stay at their level, and MOST move up the income ladder as the years past.
In other words, THE MAJORITY are getting richer in this country and designing government policies that forces income equality only EXPANDS misery.
