The problem is that this article is all over the place, and seems to be deliberately muddying the waters. For example: "The upshot is laid bare by the fact that this OECD measure assigns a higher poverty rate to the U.S. (17.8%) than to Mexico (16.6%). Yet, World Bank data shows that 35% of Mexico’s population lives on less than $5.50 per day, as compared to only 2% of people in the United States." The article is full of loaded words, which already makes me distrust it, and then I find these kinds of silly comparisons...
