You can't look at America's poor when judging America. Most of those people are of not only a different economic class but also a different social class that does not change with their income. That's why they remain failures.
Poor people are less likely to move up economically in the US because of what's going on in those neighborhoods that has NOTHING to do with anyone but themselves. 30% and higher high school dropout rates. Crime for sport. Gang activity for the hell of it. etc... MOST of America does not get caught up in that mess.
