Yes.

Sorry, wrong answer.

• Poverty line moves around, not accurate
• Satisfaction is not dependent on income. (Over 15% of those making >$100,000 a year say it's not enough to cover their "needs")
• Using income as a measure of poverty is inaccurate
• Those labelled "poor" in America are quite well off compared to the rest of the world. Today's "poor" are better off than average Americans of 1955.
