Date Posted: 17:06:25 07/12/07 Thu In reply to: Duncan7 's message, "Re: tax freedom days...." on 09:12:03 07/12/07 Thu The poverty rate in the United States is one of the highest among the post-industrialized developed world.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States us poverty thresholds. One person, under 65 years -- $8,959 One person, 65 years and over -- $8,259 Two people, householder under 65 years, including one child under 18 years -- $11,869 Four people, including two children under 18 years -- $17,463 now, read about Canada's poverty line.... http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/economy/poverty-line.html whre a family of four.... 500,000 + 100,000-499,999 30,000-99,999 Less than 30,000* Rural $38,610 $33,251 $33,046 $30,238 $26,579 So perhaps you might think about that other 10 to 20 thousand dollars that our poor are able to earn and still be classified as such.
