I'd briefly mentioned in a previous episode how I think that the  American poor are kind of spoiled by the high living standards that we  have in the US, and don't really understand real poverty.

In this  episode I'll elaborate on that, along with the fact that the poorest 20%  of Americans have higher living standards than the poor in any other  OECD nation.
