The true poor are the uneducated single mothers struggling to care and feed their kids. But the government helps them the most. And aid societies help them the most. The ones that suffer are either too scared or too shy or too ashamed to ask for help, or they just don't know who to ask for help from. The help is out there. Children in the US don't starve to death, unless their parent refuses to feed them (and there are sick cases of this). There are countless free food programs. They can eat breakfast and lunch for free in schools. The parents get food stamps (for what... food). Churches and other aid organizations give out boxes and boxes of food.
