Not true, such officers and government are subject to both civil action from private citizens harmed and criminal penalty for submitting false documents and reports:
Technogeeb: But it would not be a "false" report. "Poverty" is an arbitrary value, the poorest among the citizens of the United States live better than the kings of a century ago (air conditioning, medical care, etc., that were unavailable to even the wealthy). 963
LMAO!!! That's a keeper.
I can hear it now from the HHS commissioner (having read Technogeeb's above quote): "But your honor, our official HHS poverty level number for 2002 is calculated relative to how kings of a century ago lived. Even the poorest American citizens live better than kings of a century ago -- thus the poverty level is $150,000."
LOL
Like the droves of individuals who technogweeb says will starve themselves in order to "accumulate wealth". Good grief.
