I'm aware of the fact that there are even poorer people in the rest of the world. I hope this doesn't mean that we really don't need to help our own poor in this country. The statement I'm responding to wasn't "there are poor people in the US and I think we should help them" or something along those lines It was More than 18 million Americans live in “extreme poverty,” according to a report from the United Nations, which ranked poverty in the U.S. alongside some of the poorest areas in the world. No area in the US, much less the US as a whole, is among the poorest area of the world either in terms of overall wealth or just looking at the poor who live there. By world standards the only Americans who might possibly rank as being in extreme poverty would be homeless people with mental and/or substance abuse problems, not 18 million Americans.
