Exclusive: 4 in 5 in US face near-poverty, no work

For everyone jumping on that "oh yeah, 'for at least part of their lives' so this article sucks" bandwagon, think about this - what does it say when our system rests on such a tenuous position that 80% of people are destitute at some point in their lives? Shouldn't someone that practices the right-wing, Rand-ian ideal of self reliance enjoy at least some measure of insulation from abject poverty? Does this mean that 80% of people are not hard workers and responsible for their own fortunes in life? I doubt that.
