re: Nice opinion piece on income inequality from CNN

Poor people in America are living like kings compared to poor people in Africa and Asia.

Right. In America, the poor say Oh no, I can barely pay for my fricking car and my fricking cable and my fricking cellphone

In those countries the poor say "Do I let the baby starve or sell her older sister into slavery? And by the way, what's Wal-Mart? What's a cellphone? What's cable? What's a doctor?"
