I live where the west says people are very poor and are exploited by the west to keep them that way.
There sure are a lot of new cars around now. Many are expensive SUVs with all the extras. It is not just a few either. The traffic is getting really bad here.

From Wikipedia: "The poverty threshold, or poverty line, is the level of income below which one cannot afford to purchase all the resources one requires to live. Thus, by definition, nobody lives below the poverty line. The official or common definition of "poverty line" in developed nations like the United States is much higher than in the Third World."
The definition of poor is going to be relative. You didn't help us out by telling us where you live. Also, what is the ratio of people that own the expensive SUV's to those who do not own vehicles at all? In many places, the rich few outweigh the poor many by overwhelming amounts.
