So
if you earn USD8000 per year in a developing country you are rich
if you earn USD8000 per year in a developed country you live in poverty
Are you suggesting there are NOT lots of people living in poverty in the USA because they earn more than someone in Loas?
No. I don't care nor compare poverty levels based on how many paper dollars one earns per year. That is what I was eluding to in my initial post. I think poverty should be measured by housing, food, water, education, healthcare standards.
