Did you read anything past that? I agree that it’s bullshit to say that the poverty levels are basically the same and I don’t know why on earth they’re using statistics that don’t reflect the vast difference in average wealth between the 70s and now.
They don’t consider that a reason to feel better about though, rather something to be ashamed about. They go on to talk about how the root of the problem is our economic system, compounded by our awful policy choices.
