"My thought on poverty in the United State being a “state of mind” is
that what it really is, to a rather larger extent, is a lack of access —
to money, to education, to opportunities, to adequate housing, to
networks of expertise and help, among many other things, and most
importantly (and as often a consequence of all the others noted and
more) to the margin of safety that people who are not in poverty have
when any individual thing knocks them off their stride."

An excellent response.
