| Sure, poverty is relative, so what? And where do those stats mention the population equivalent of a very large town which lives homeless in our country's capital alone? Where do they point out that in Washington, people living within a mile of each other may have life expectancies 20 years apart, for no other reason than their economic status.
 I really don't care if your morality or political philosophy is such that poverty is of no concern to you. Just be honest. Pretending that poverty doesn't exist or that it is inconsequential, is as disgusting as denying the holocaust.
