How do you measure social classes in the USA? Who's Wealthy & Who live in poverty ?

Question

How come most Homeless are " Anglo-Saxon's and few or none are Latinos or Hispanics ?

Are Mexican businesses more successful than Anglo businesses ?

Answer 1

u see where they live

Answer 2

I think it's harder to tell these days because some people that you would see as wealthy may not be as wealthy as they seem because they spend it all and use credit.

It seems that Latinos and hispanics will join up and share resources such as houses. They seem to be more family oriented which helps them avoid homelessness. That is one theory I have.

I don't know if Mexican businesses are more successful than Anglo businesses. It could be because the latino/hispanic population is growing fast and the anglo businesses have been very slow to adapt.

Answer 3

A lot of those "anglo-saxon" homeless people you see living on the street are our veterans whom our government doesn't take very good care of!

Answer 4

We don't measure them because unlike mexico we have a strong middle class average working American. We can still strive and succeed here.

Answer 5

I'll get 100 thumbs down for this one..

but every American I know who owns his/her own business was born in another country.  

Americans feel like they are entitled to wealth simply by virtue of their birthplace and because they see rich people around them.  Immigrants come here because they believe hard work will be rewarded.

Answer 6

do some volunteer work for the salvation army so you can get a better feeling of what is going on and who is affected.

Answer 7

There people with Class and then there are people with or without money.  More often and not anymore they do not go hand in hand.  I don't know what kind of dig you are trying to achieve, so I will just ignore that and put you in the without category.
