One of the problems with a society that has some degree of meritocracy for a long time - enough of the "deserving poor" become middle class, and leave the neighborhood. The poor have fewer good examples (role models ?) and many end up behaving like the people on the Jerry Springer / Dr. Phil / Judge Judy TV shows. Most middle class people find this hard to believe unless they have a job or a friend that causes them to have frequent contact with the not-so-deserving poor.
