of course people in America can be poor. I dont deny that many people have grown up in worse conditions than me... but poverty (even in its harshest elements) is NOT the same thing as class.
Being poor is a condition, and one that may be very unpleasant, but class is who you ARE. In America, who you are is never determined by where you are from.
