That article is not accurate, if you work for a salary you're in poverty. Before 2005 it was not that bad, we saw a major transformation with the downturn. Here in LA the cost of living has swallowed up all but the very highest paid salaries. High taxes in California combined with high rents and high cost of food, education and healthcare make for a brutal combination for working people of all stripes.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. I work for a salary and am most assuredly not in poverty. Could you expand a bit on what you meant by that?
