Our "poor" live like (or even better than) the middle to upper class in
most
other nations.

I believe America is the only society in human history to have a
documented obesity problem amongst the "poor".

I believe that's more a factor of junkfood/couch potatoes.

I do believe that America is the only society in human history to have a
"Leisure Class" at the bottom of the economic scale.
