Poverty Line Skewed

I feel that this is not true unless in large numbers. Every country will have its poor. It is mostly inevitable. However, if there is a country with a large percentage of people living under the poverty line, there is a problem. The country needs to do more then to support them, and help them out. However, there are huge problems with this logic. The US has a much higher poverty line then many third world countries. This causes the numbers to be skewed (thank you, statistics). So USA’s statistics may say they have more people in poverty than a third world country, but the USA has more people, and a higher poverty line. So the USA, as a society is better off than other societies, yet based on statistics you would never know it.
