&gt; I&#x27;m not sure which US you&#x27;re referring to but it&#x27;s not one I recognise.<p>I&#x27;m from an African country and with that perspective I stand by this phrase:<p>&gt; There is extreme lack of poverty in the U.S. There is no reason for anyone to go without food.<p>Name one area in the U.S. where a homeless person cannot get a meal.<p>My claim is simple. The U.S. is the most prosperous place on the planet, the inequality doesn&#x27;t touch at least a hundred other countries. Again, inequality isn&#x27;t necessarily an indicator of poverty.
