Even the poverty rates between countries vary greatly depending on how you define it. A fact you should actually use. Along with the concept that being below the poverty line means different things in different places. Being below the poverty line in Denmark means you have the same access to healthcare as the wealthy. You have paid sick leave, maternity leave, home help if all adults are working. An accident, health emergency or other unforeseen incident won't wipe out what little you have. Your children have equal access to education, even after high school and hence a better chance of upward mobility than in the US. And the numbers show it. In the United States that isn't true. In the US, even the middle class is often only one crisis away from losing everything. Think about that. The poor in Denmark have more security from being totally wiped out than our middle class. Comparing being poor in the US as different than in Brazil or India may seem to be a clever snark to you. It isn't.
