When I got to New York City, I lived so far below the poverty line, because I didn’t give in and get a job at 7-Eleven. I think you can thrive in misery  (Poverty Line Quotes) Full-time workers earning the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 only earn about $14,500 a year in wages - below the poverty line for a family of two. That’s unacceptable.  (Poverty Line Quotes) I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character.

My hunger to climb had been blunted, in short, by a bunch of small satisfactions that added up to something like happiness  (Poverty Line Quotes) Inflation is taking up the poverty line, and poverty is not just economic but defined by way of health and education  (Poverty Line Quotes) The poverty line understates the true amount of poverty because it measures it as three times the breadbasket that a family needs, but it doesn’t consider all the other things that are inflating far, far faster than food prices  (Poverty Line Quotes) The poverty line is like the age of consent: if you find yourself parsing exactly where it is, you’ve probably already done something very, very wrong  (Poverty Line Quotes) How well a posse policy will fare in a world with 3 billion people below the poverty line and nuclear warheads scattered around a dozen or more regions like melons in a field, is not easy to imagine  (Poverty Line Quotes) I think that America in general is piratical. Every time we accept a paycheck for doing almost nothing, allowing us to live above the poverty line, we’re engaging in piracy  (Poverty Line Quotes) It is shameful that millions of Americans are suffering the economic injustice of working a full-time job and earning a wage that leaves them below the poverty line  (Poverty Line Quotes)
