You always here about American poverty but the numbers are mind blowing. Poverty line is set at $22,314 for a family of 4 and $11,139 for single persons. I couldn't imagine living off $22,000 a year by myself let alone a family of 4. FYI 13.7% of Americans, thats's 46.2M Americans are living in poverty. Also Blacks carry the highest rate per race at 27.4%. This makes sad but grateful at the same time.....
