I have had family that came here with $20 in their pockets and now now homes and cars, do not live off the state and provide educations for their children.

What does that have to do with what AlmoundJoy18 said?
You are making some pretty broad generalizations based on your limited experiences. Your experiences in NYC have no bearing on how things were in New Orleans and in no way show that poverty was not a factor in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
