do you know what "near poverty" means

you probably don't, reading scores over there are much lower than here

Near poverty
To say that Stein’s statement is true, we would have to consider—by the official measure—households with incomes between 101 and 302 percent of the official poverty line to be near poverty or—by the SPM—households with incomes between 101 and 211 percent of the supplemental poverty line to be near poverty. Are either of these definitions reasonable?

In short, no. Though no official definition of near poverty exists, we were unable to find a single example of any definition that exceeded twice the poverty threshold. The closest we could find were groups like the Working Poor Project, which defines near poverty as between 100 and 200 percent of the poverty line.[8] But most of the studies that we came across, such as recent ones from the University of Virginia, left-of-center Demos and the right-of-center American Enterprise Institute, defined it as between 100 and 150 percent of the poverty line.[9][10][11] Other studies used definitions that were much lower. A Census Bureau analysis from 2014, for instance, notes that the Bureau has historically defined near poverty as between 100 and 125 percent of the poverty line.[12]

We should also point out that some scholars reject the notion of “near poverty” as a quantifiable classification of economic status altogether. Robert Rector at the right-leaning Heritage Foundation, for instance, told the New York Times in 2011, “I don’t have any objection to this measure if you use the term ‘low-income.’ But the emotionally charged terms ‘poor’ or ‘near poor’ clearly suggest to most people a level of material hardship that doesn’t exist. It is deliberately used to mislead people.”[13]

Conclusion
Where does this leave us with Stein’s claim that “one in two Americans remain in or near poverty”? We found it to be untrue according to most conventional measures and definitions of near poverty. The official Census Bureau measure got us nowhere near 50 percent of the population when combined with any of the commonly used definitions of near poverty. Moreover, if we combined the SPM with the commonly-used definition of near poverty as between 100 and 150 percent of the poverty line, it comes out to only 32 percent of the population, or roughly one in three Americans.

i got graphs too yha know

@T. Raven even just 50% above the poverty line is significantly more than actual poverty and by the official statistics the actual poverty under evil capitalism has been steadily declining. Also it seems that capitalism has a nasty habit of actually lifting people out of poverty

Also you used the poverty thing as some sort of way to debunk a point I was making. Saying you debunked me using that is like me saying I debunked Islam by saying “ it says in the bible that Christianity is the true religion “ that doesn’t prove anything. And I like it when you took a joke as a threat. We’ve gone from the battle of Berlin to triggered over a joke

The reason why chinaa is wining is because they manipulate their vallue

by increasing the reports of vallue increase they would be able to pay of intrest much quicker, which results in them having less debt

this in comparision with debt riddled europe and states enabeled them to get ahead in the gamne

which is why china and its trade partners are underassault

Their region reported massive growth, this increased chinas vallue, this would allow them to pay of the debt despite not actaully creating profits and ecconomic advancements.

This all is the reason why the states and the eu and (((others))) have such a hard on at china

Trade negotiations are constanly forced upon china

think about the nk incident, nk being a rare earth mineral suplier that helps china to build phones and chips

Think the huwai slander and sanctions that are looming

B-but what about the 50 gorillion lifted out of poverty and given refrigerators

These responses are schizophrenic as Fuck lmao. Pulling out random and completely unrelated "arguments" in typical polyp fashion because intellectual honesty is the polar opposite of fascism

Try and stay on a single topic next time I count like three completely unrelated arguments spewed out by you in a sad attempt at gish galloping

"by the official statistics the actual poverty under evil capitalism has been steadily declining. Also it seems that capitalism has a nasty habit of actually lifting people out of poverty"
Again with this reading comprehension? Must I remind you of *why* I brought up poverty in the 1st place?

I could care less about who gets lifted out of poverty or who gets welfare or who gets free blowjobs.

You reactionaries really are NPCs, are you not programmed for this specific discussion, so you went to the "lifted out of poverty" bullshit?

I care about this

the awnser to that question makes me hate capitalism, Considering with the taxes this is what hard working ppl pay for

nobody was talking to you pedophile
