I don't think anyone argued there aren't poor people in El Salvador. I'm sure remittances and guest working out of country make up for some of the things not included in GDP, and average 'income' can definitely exceed average GDP if you add in remittances (for which El Salvador is known), but you're right that there are poor people in El Salvador. Has anyone ever disputed that? Bringing up GDP as it pertains to the $30 wasn't even introduced by me, it was introduced by the person I responded to. I think you're replying to the wrong person if you have some issue with the GDP as it pertains to this topic. In fact I was on your side, explaining the issues with going off of the official GDP.
