All depends on your definition, doesn't it?

If you have food, clothing and shelter, but only one TV and car, you're poor.

Where you live makes a lot of difference too. In DC the poverty
assistance programs can give you as much as $50k a year.
You don't want to be poor in Idaho.

The rich Canadians who also own houses here are skewing the
numbers. They come here in the winter to escape the horrid
weather there and catch up on the healthcare that the poor
Canadians can't get or have to wait months or even years in the
cue to get. At least here in America everyone rich and poor has
access to healthcare on a timely basis.

That's why even the socialists say, "Socialism's a bitch!"
