Poverty!

This is not really a full post, I just found some statistics on income in the United States, and I thought I'd put them up (no analysis).

The median household income in the US is 42,409 dollars. The state with the lowest median annual income is Mississippi with a median annual income of 31,434. The state with the highest is New Jersey, at 54,932 dollars. The percentage of people in poverty is 12.2 percent, although it is as high as 18.9 percent in Mississippi, and as low as 6.3 percent in New Hampshire. Now, here come the really scary statistics. The percentage of kids below the age of 18 in poverty is 16.7 percent. In New Hampshire it's 6.6 percent. In the Distric of Columbia, 31.3 percent of the children are below the poverty line. One out of every three people under the age of eighteen living in DC are below are in poverty. It's pretty ridiculous.
