It doesn't ,it's one of those collection of figures that can be interpreted any number of ways .Is she including the oil revenue? ,is she referring to people receiving state benefits like family allowance ? Is she including her own wage ?.Since making that statement last week (descibed as her mit romney moment) she has not clarified how she applied the figures or what figures she has used to come to that conclusion
