What is considered the poverty line in the US?

When you're walking home to your crappy apartment 3 blocks from the grocery store pushing a shopping cart full of bulk generic froot loops and diapers, while pregnant, with 5 kids following you.

You're assuming we have a poverty line. Anyone that makes money, is rich. Anyone that sits on the couch all day to watch TV, they are victims of society who need financial supplementation.

That's not poverty. That's called stupidity and over-fertility.

Which are both associated with poverty.

I'd say anything less than 10k a year is pretty down there.

It has to do with the number of dependents that you have (kids). I believe that is somewhere around $20,000 for a family of 4. (Two adults, and two kids.)

if you live in a cardboard box behind the dumpster at Arby's, you are poor

if you live in a van down by the river, you aren't
