The poverty line is completely meaningless. The cost of living clearly varies a great deal around the country and much more so around the world.
A few years ago John Stossel did a story on the so-called poverty line. The overwhelming majority of people living under the poverty line around the country have material goods that would have placed them in the upper middle class 50 years ago or in other countries around the world.
