About of POVERTY LEVEL
"poverty" A SUBJECT
Measures controlling poverty linked to the suitability of the country, as reasons

This growth of poverty level is largely due to misunderstanding poverty
For example, countries like India and other who has thick population and dominated by illiterates and semi- literates (semi-literate means with less literacy level which deprives them from employment in high tech or medium industries)
Is curse for who experience, and boon as a subject for politicians to promise for vote! And subject of appreciation by public to writers and poets! Many books have been written and many promises made, nevertheless, poverty level has dominated the world

BELL CURVE: Anatomy of an Analysis
The interpretations proffered in Herrnstein & Murray's book, "The Bell Curve",
are not supported by reanalysis of their data.
In this analysis, HM used their 3-variable model to predict whether white NLSY cases lived above or below the POVERTY level
Another way to examine the fit of a statistical model in a logistic regression is the classification table, an intuitively obvious cross-tabulation of the predicted status of cases by their actual status: here, a cross-tabulation of whether cases predicted by HM's 3-variable model to be above or below the poverty level actually were or were not
After obtaining results identical to those published (down to four significant digits), the fit of HM's model was addressed by examining its classification table: HM's model predicted n o n e of the cases living below the poverty level correctly (N=244): all were incorrectly predicted to be living above it
I mean 'proud' most seriously: I do believe the internet can serve as a leveler of leverage, has the ability to level the playing field
An alternative explanation of these two Americas is that the playing field is not level, that it has become increasingly less level since the massive feeding at the public trough that began under Reagan (the state where I live, Alaska, superbly illustrates the point)
Racial and Ethnic Disparities: Key Findings from the National ...
Key findings from the National Survey of America's Families.
Poverty To evaluate poverty, the NSAF compared each family’s 1996 income to that year’s federal poverty level (FPL)
One advantage of NSAF data is the ability they provide researchers to analyze representative state-level data across 13 focal states
At the state level, poverty rates for blacks and Hispanics varied widely
Across all income levels, the bimodal pattern of well-being by ethnic group was again apparent, since rates of housing hardship for blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans were twice as high as those for Asians and whites
Across all income levels, the vast majority of white and Asian children were privately insured, while less than half of black, Hispanic, and Native American children had private coverage
Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans, despite having similar child poverty levels, have very different family compositions, health statuses, and housing hardships
This pattern was significant at the 95 percent confidence level and held true for all measures of well-being unless otherwise noted
The federal poverty level is an annually defined measure based on family size (see Dalaker and Naifeh 1998)

Inconvenient Lives
Robert Bork expresses concern with the current protected status of abortion, as
well as the broader cultural implications of such acceptance.
He writes that it is doubtful that a fetus becomes conscious until well after the time most abortions are performed and even if it is conscious, that would not put the fetus at a level of awareness comparable to that of 'a dog, let alone a chimpanzee
The survey noted that 'some 77 percent of women with incomes under 100 percent or between 100 and 149 percent of the poverty level said they were having an abortion because they could not afford to have a child, compared with 69 percent of those with incomes between 150 and 199 percent and 60 percent of those with incomes at or above 200 percent of the poverty level.' The can't-afford category thus included a great many women who, by most reckonings, could afford to have a baby and certainly could have put the baby up for adoption

Premium caps mean that a poverty level individual will pay no more than $600 or $700 a year, with the excess premium subsidized by Uncle Sam
When these penalties are added to other marginal tax rates created by the income tax, the payroll tax and the withdrawal of other subsidies such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), overall tax rates for low-income families would soar to levels normally thought to apply only to the very wealthy
Under the Kerry plan, people at the same income level would receive vastly different subsidies depending on their age, where they work and how they obtain insurance
So who would be left out? The people most ignored are mainly middle-income families with incomes above 300 percent of the poverty level who buy their own insurance
