I have been to "back water" West Virginia. It is beautiful, with abundant natural resources and hard-working, friendly people. The small towns are wonderful with Ma and Pa groceries beside large chain stores. I saw many things in West Virginia, but I did not see any abject poverty. None.
But, I know you use WV as an example because it is right out of the communist playbook.
The fact that you try to use that place as an example of how bad things are in the US shows that you have never been there.
Communism has been a tragic and abject failure everywhere it has been tried. Capitalism has been a roaring success everywhere it has been tried. Those are facts. Deal with them.
