Back on topic, I agree about the poverty thing, however this example obviously doesn't fit into that paradigm. But helping to alleviate that would probably bring these numbers down.
However the US policies, especially the Republicans don't really worry too much about helping the low and middle classes. When you've got candidates controlled by corporations, bankers without regulations, and a massive political sideshow distracting everyone with both sides pointing the finger, these people will never get any help.
