The 80% number is lying with statistics. They define the 80% by simply saying the top 20% are the only ones not in poverty.Pardon my ignorance but does not the word poverty mean starvation? Most of those in poverty in the US are obese. They have too much to eat. Nobody starves in the US except the occasional drug addict if them.

Most of those in “poverty” in the US would be in the top 3% of the worlds wealthiest people to get there all they have to do is have a bank account with a $100.00 balance.

So I think you are right the article is a lie.

I also think you better find something other than Social Security; not because I am mean but because I think your right about that too.

Sure about that?

Granted most of those in poverty have a cell phone and cable tv it doesn’t change the fact that comparing $$ is Atlanta to most of Africa is a useless exercise to determine poverty.

They have too much to eat.

They fudge the food numbers for their sub story 'for the children' campaigns by labeling people as 'food insecure. It does not matter if a kid is obese, if he spends time between the house holds of several extended family members, or does not know for CERTAIN where every meal is coming from (except the free ones at school) then that kid must be 'food insecure'. It does not matter if the kid is a butterball, clearly they are in danger of staving to death. /sar
