While homelessness and hunger has increased in the United States by around 16 percent per year for the past 15 years, a new study says that poor really isn't that poor.
Forty-six percent of the "poor" in the United States have more living space than the average person in Paris, London or Vienna. In the U.S. 73 percent have their own car, 30 percent own two or more cars, and 76 percent have air conditioning.
Also, 65 percent have a washing machine, 97 percent have a color TV and 78 percent have a DVD player/VCR in the United States. The bottom line is that a very small percentage of the 35 million people considered "poor" actually suffer real hardships.
