This truth is why the left ignores it because it believes that it is better to have communism where everyone except the ruling elite is poor.

"More countries are opening up their markets. China, Russia, India, and Botswana are all much freer economies than they were in 1970." But the Marxist useful idiot Obama still wants to kill free market capitalism here in the USA.

Americans in “poverty” have a far different life than those in the Third World. It all depends on what the meaning of “poverty” is.

More countries are opening up their markets. China, Russia, India, and Botswana are all much freer economies than they were in 1970. It is wonderful.
But while the rest of the world is freeing their economies and bettering the lot of their people in the process the United States is hobbling the legs of our economy and real incomes of the citizens of this once great country are sliding backwards.
Thank you Obama and the Democrats!

There's no poverty in America, but thanks for keeping alive the Liberal myth ... especially that part about how "we", the taxpayers, haven't done enough.

Remember that pendulums swing. I am most fortunate to have experienced life in post WWII America when neighbors spoke with each other and doors were left unlocked. I witnessed the impact of communism on Russia and was privileged to see the Berlin wall fall, under an strong Conservative American president.
It's been all downhill since then, here in the US but look at Russia! They have rebounded, even to the point of outright banning advertisements for abortion! There was a time in my youth when prayers were offered up for those persecuted in Russia and now we see the fruit of those sacrifices. We need to do the same here and pray for our own country. Historically, once the libs have tested their failing approaches, the republicans (conservatives) are usually elected to clean up the mess.
Take heart! Pray for the US!

When they speak/write of ‘world poverty’ they mean $1-$1.25/day. I’m not sure anyone in the US lives on that. When an American hits that level (or even well above that level) various charities and/or the govt steps in to provide food/shelter, etc.

Take heart! Pray for the US! I havent lost heart believe me.
I am so angry and befuddled that this country that taught the free market and low taxes path to prosperity to the rest of the world is being led down the socialist road by these idiot Democrats.
How can anyone who was alive and conscious when Ireland went for being an economic basket case to being the Celtic Tiger just by lowering its corporate income tax rate have any illusions that high taxes are the path to economic growth?

Amazing economic info. I need to study this further.
So, this is because huge swaths of the world's population have gone from lesser to greater economic freedom? India, China, Russia, Botswana ---and greater globalization?
Does freedom lead to globalization, or vice-versa?
I think I don't understand how it works.

Regardless, under president Obama, Americans have become poorer, mainly because the economic growth is not keeping pace with population growth.
