Right nowthe people considered poor in the USA are people with an anual income of less than $22,350 USD. That's not poor in most of the rest of the world!!!


Just to be fair that is the income for a family of 4 to be considered poor by the government, not individuals :P

Edit: For a sole individual in their own household it is under 11k
