The government is supposed to protect the people's right to Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness. Where do they see "corporate profits" in that document?

That means that only 3.3 percent of seniors are well-off." If 9.7% of seniors live in poverty, that means 90.3% of seniors live in some state other than poverty. Aside from the fact that there are obviously many other states-of-economic-being besides "poverty" and "well-off", you're just not doing good math here. You can't say "13% are seniors, 9.7% of whom live in poverty" and SUBTRACT 9.7 from 13. I like the article, and I know the situation is bad. But the math mistake significantly reduces your credibility. “About 13 percent of the population is made out of people over 65 and, get this: 9.7 percent of them live in poverty.
