Poverty Level in Arkansas

According to the federal census, 24.9% of the children under 18 in Arkansas in 2005 were living before the national poverty level.

Living.

The official poverty level is $19,307 for a family of four, $12,334 for a family of two....and that's before taxes, mind you.

Hmmmm... take 300 families of four living on food stamps...1200 living breathing human beings...add their total income before taxes... still doesn't equate to the value of John Edwards NC estate.

Wow...simply wow.
