I have spent time in India, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Mexico. I have definitely seen poverty.



Then you should know enough to see the difference between the poverty these and back in the US. In some of the countries you mentioned some people die because they are poor. In the US, you usually don't die of that poverty. You don't live very well, you struggle to make a living and to eat well, but you don't just disappear and die like that.
