Is anyone poor in the USA?

No, they're all billionaires....

Of course there is, but poverty is a relative term. Poor people in USA are richer than the poor in let's say Russia and poor Russian are richer than the poor in African countries.

have you lived in idiotland so far?

You can't be MollyB for real. If you are, this time you must be really desperate in your attempts to troll successfully. Nobody answer this idiotic question please.

I was poor in the USA. Now I'm poor in Taiwan.

Poverty FTW!

Why do you see it as trolling? It seems a good question.

Yeah, there are poor people in the USA. However, people on welfare in the United States are estimated to be within the top 5% richest in the world... So it's all relative.

There are poor people here, but not like there are in Central Africa.

So if that 5% feel poor, you can tell them it's all relative really, right?

That would be inappropriate, but I suppose that was your point. People who make $35,000 a year may feel poor, but does that mean that, in reality and comparatively, they are? Probably not.

What's the defintion of "poor" in the USA?

Take the poverty quiz:

http://www.usccb.org/cchd/povertyusa/povquiz.shtml

"poverty in the USA is often masked - the poor are often not skeletally thin, but actually over-weight, because they have been persuaded to eat ‘cheap’ junk food which gives energy but not nourishment."
