“no matter how poor I am (and I have been POOR) I was always stringently tidy.... Not bitchin’, not criticizing, not picking an argument, but there are NO poor in the US. The sooner we spread this truth, the faster we uplift everybody.

You may be right, I don't know how you define "poor." When I was in my late 20s, I had a job working as a rental agent but it was only 30 hours a week, and was minimum wage. I had a cute little apartment in a decent neighborhood, a tv and basic cable (back then it meant I could see FOX, CNN, MTV and the big three.) I had no phone, health insurance, or car, but I did have electricity, a little window unit a/c, a gas stove and a refrigerator. I had about $30 a week for food, but fortunately I actually LIKE rice and beans and ramen. I'd say I was pretty poor by US standards, but by, say, Ethiopian? Probably not.
