Poverty rate in the USA is not decreasing, and absolute numbers of poor people are increasing
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States:
20% of the Richest People Own 80% of the Wealth
- from http://thesocietypages.org/graphicsociology/2009/05/27/champagne-glass-distribution-of-wealth/ :
Wealth Disparity has been Increasing since the 1940s
The Percentage of People in Abject Poverty ($1.25/day) is Decreasing Globally
- Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty . Note: This is welcome news, but making $1.26+/day is not inspiring - opinion of wiki editor
