Living Like the King of Spain

"one in seven Americans the government categorizes as poor in the United States enjoys nutrition, leisure, entertainment, and health care superior to those available to the king of Spain in the 16th century"

What is poverty in the United States today?

Here is a direct link to the .pdf article on the Heritage Foundation website.

And here are the highlights if you don't want to read the whole article. Reading is so time consuming, after all.

• The typical poor household, as defined by the
  government, has a car and air conditioning,
  two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a
  DVD player, and a VCR. If there are children,
  especially boys, the family has a game system,
  such as an Xbox or PlayStation.
• In the kitchen, the household has a refrigerator,
  an oven and stove, and a microwave.
  Other household conveniences include a
  clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a
  cordless phone, and a coffee maker.
• The home of the typical poor family is in
  good repair and is not overcrowded. In fact,
  the typical average poor American has more
  living space in his home than the average
  (non-poor) European has.
• By its own report, the typical poor family was
  not hungry, was able to obtain medical care
  when needed, and had sufficient funds during
  the past year to meet all essential needs.

So is it possible that the whole "Occupy" movement doesn't really care about income equality as a means of alleviating poverty, but instead wants to advance their ideological preferences of socialism and radical egalitarianism?
