Your definition of "poor" is wrong. There are still many, many "poor" individuals in Canada, and other industrialized nations. Not everyone goes on vacations to Mexico, not everyone owns a reliable automobile . . . where do you live to get this impression? Have you ever been to the East Coast?

Sadly, the definition of 'poor' has been skewed. Today, 'poor' people have air conditioning, drive nice cars, own their own house, but pay for their food with food stamps.
I would venture a guess that a lot of 'poor' people have no idea what the poor is you're talking about.
