Not Ranked
I think the part you missed was who was considered poor(wage and salary workers). This did not list those that do not work, it was people that made $60.000 or less
so if based on my salary alone, I would fit that category, POOR!
and that list only went to 2004. So how many hardworking people do you know of in that category, I'm not talking about people that don't work, I'm talking about hard working Americans who at least deserve a living wage and to be able to retire with dignity after a lifetime of hard work, it sounds as though you would put them out on the streets for all their years of work, would you do that to your parents? Would you do it yourself? I still have to remind you, these are the fire fighters, the cops on the beat, the road crew the sewer and water crews, there is apparently a lot more they do for you then you understand, those working poor!
