Real statistic. There is, for most practical purposes, no poverty in America - only class envy, and gross ignorance about what most humans live on.

Yes, you can live on $2/day.
In particular, when your government does not mandate living standards so high it seems impossible.

Yeah, right. A person can live on zero cash income if he can go out in the wilderness and survive on wild game and fish etc. but there is no way that a person can buy the barest necessities of even the most minimal life on two dollars a day. If I grow my own food or catch my own food I am not living on two dollars a day even if that is all the cash income I have.
