Dumb beyond belief. By definition, if a country has a high national
median income then it's "Relative" rate will likely be higher.

Example: Country A has 10% of its people living on $20,000 per year
per family or less. Country B has 20% of its people like that. Who has
the biggest poverty problem? Country B, obviously.

But if Country A has a median income of $30,000 and country B has a
median income of $25,000 then the "Relative" rate is higher for
country A.

So your stupid little stunt and trying to redefine statistics proves
itself to be just that: a stupid little stunt.

Please try to make the effort to understand why you post before you
post it.

Anything that doesn't follow your line is dumb?

No. Just anything that doesn't make sense. If you bothered to read
first you would have never posted something that silly.

Dumb as usual comment from an American, living in denial!
