NEW YORK, May 22 (Xinhua) -- Many Americans already know that the systems are rigged to favor people who are already advantaged in the United States, and poverty is pervasive in America by design, to enable the lifestyles of affluent people, according to an opinion article published on the website of Politico on Sunday.
The United States is "a land of economic extremes, with entrenched, grinding poverty for those struggling at the bottom -- even as most poor adults who are not seniors are working," said the article.
