Vietnam, $5 is far above poverty level. According to wikipedia [1] the<br>GDP in the US is 14,624,184 USD and in Vietnam it's 101,987 USD. If<br>you can divide you can see that's a factor of 143. Far more than 40<br>
actually.<br><br>See also this page [2] that the Gross National Income (per capita) in<br>the US is $33,070.30 per person and in Vietnam it's $392.19 per<br>person. Factor of 84.<br><br>Based on less than $400 per year, $5 is actually a very, very good<br>
rate in Vietnam.<br><br>Please check your facts before you spew.<br><br>Thank you,<br>Fred<br><br>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29</a><br>
