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?
