Ignoring your completely made up percentiles and the fact that you're a right-wing troll, poor people in the US get to call themselves poor because they face real problems where the not-poor don't. Access to healthy food, healthcare, housing, quality education, etc. are all diminished for low-income people.
- KekDemaga 9y ago"Ignoring your completely made up percentiles" You are right, I didn't know the median income moved so much last year. US Median income = 59,039[0] = the top .2% globally[3] Average US Worker Pay = 44,148[2] = the top .43% globally[3] [0]http://www.businessinsider.com/us-census-median-income-2017-9 http://www.businessinsider.com/us-census-median-income-2017-...

And non existent for most of the planet. EDIT: In regards to the numbers not adding up, You do understand that children don't work right? Remove children (the largest generation ever is currently in high school), then the roughly 40% or so of adults that are unemployed, retired or otherwise out of the workforce and it makes more sense. If you aren't convinced take a look at salaries in European nations, if you happen to find some reasonably high ones on average take a look at the population numbers of those nations.
- ocb 9y agoI'm not going to engage with you beyond this but that doesn't even make sense given that the US makes up ~4-5% of the world population.
