	Poverty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		'Poverty' is a subjective and comparative term describing a lack of sufficient wealth (usually understood as capital, money, material goods, or resources especially natural resources) to live what is understood in a society as a "normal" life: for instance, to be capable of raising a healthy family, and especially educating children and participating in society.
		Poverty is often strongly correlated with social problems, such as crime and disease (notably sexually transmitted diseases), sometimes in epidemic form.
		In law, poverty is recognised, in most developed countries, as a mitigating factor for the determination of the punishment, being usually considered coincident with a generic and permanent state of need which can affect and alter the correct capability of clearly or freely identifying the legally and socially acceptable behaviour.

		Those who intercept the money intended for the poor have been aptly called "poverty pimps."

	Wake-Up Wal-Mart Blog: Study Finds Wal-Mart Contributes to Poverty
		The study -- Wal-Mart and County-Wide Poverty -- written by Stephan Goetz, a professor of agricultural and regional economics at Pennsylvania State University, and Hema Swaminathan for the International Center for Research on Women, was published in the latest issue of Social Science Quarterly.
		The study, which sought to identify the independent effect of Wal-Mart stores on changes in U.S. family-poverty rates at the county level, found that one of the greatest effects of a Wal-Mart opening is the closing of mom-and-pop-type operations.
		Poverty rates will rise if retail workers displaced from existing mom-and pop-type operations work for Wal-Mart at lower wages because they have no alternatives, all else equal, according to the study.

	Economic Security for All - Chapter Seven
		The history of poverty in the United States, as presented in the previous chapter, suggests an answer that is rarely articulated, however obvious it may be: the poor are poor because wealthy people want them to be poor.
		Moreover, if the poverty line is relatively low, it's easier for elected officials to claim major progress in reducing poverty than is the case with a higher poverty line.
		To cut the poverty rate in half from 20% to 10%, as allegedly happened from 1962 to 1973, according to the government's definition of poverty, is more impressive than is merely reducing it from 45% to 33%, which is what actually happened.
