"Our poor people are the poorest" sounds suspect to be honest - Haiti? Congo? If you count $200K in student loan debt as poorer than $0 across the board, sure, but if you go by actual quality of life, there's no way.
The article is qualifying it as the poorest in the developed world.
"our poor people are the poorest of any functioning democracy on Earth" - Does this mean that the author doesn't count the developing world as functioning democracies, but does count all of the developed world as functioning democracies?
Saddest part is this will get no attention. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will be done about this.
