The U.S. government keeps statistics on many
people in America. One interesting statistic is the poverty rate. To be living
in poverty, one must earn income below a certain threshold (approximately $900
per month). Many multimillionaires are included in this statistic. Recently,
Barbara Streisand was "living in poverty." In a particular year, she
did not perform live, and her album sales were extremely slow. She has a great
deal of wealth but had little income that year. Although she has more money
than 99.99% of the rest of the population, the government believed that she was
impoverished. What other statistic can you name that is misleading? Why?
