the poor are still with us).

Only because the standard of living here has risen so much. The poor of today (in the US) have a standard of living that was completely out of reach for any but the richest people 150 years ago and is far and away higher than 80% of the world's inhabitants. Granted, I'm not saying they have a better life, but being poor here is nothing like being poor in sub Saharan Africa.
