TopCat,
Keep in mind that the poverty rate in Denmark, a very small country of less than 6 million people, is only slightly lower than the US.
Even the poverty rates between countries vary greatly depending on how you define it.

Most people, especially liberals, like to use relative poverty to measure it in the U.S., but that just means as income inequality goes up, so does relative poverty. Doesn't matter if the poorest U.S. citizen is considered "rich" by poor people in, say, Brazil or India.

In light of that, the relative poverty rate in Denmark ought to be low given the lower income inequality there. But if it isn't, that says something.
