"Access to healthy food, healthcare, housing, quality education, etc. are all diminished for low-income people."
And non existent for most of the planet.
EDIT: In regards to the numbers not adding up, You do understand that children don't work right? Remove children (the largest generation ever is currently in high school), then the roughly 40% or so of adults that are unemployed, retired or otherwise out of the workforce and it makes more sense. If you aren't convinced take a look at salaries in European nations, if you happen to find some reasonably high ones on average take a look at the population numbers of those nations.
You are right, I didn't know the median income moved so much last year.
US Median income = 59,039[0] = the top .2% globally[3]
Average US Worker Pay = 44,148[2] = the top .43% globally[3]
