That kind of sums it up right there. Most wealthy people in this country didn't become wealthy because they were able to save money while working for $15/hr.
You can't save your way out of poverty, the poor don't want your sympathy, they want dignity. They want a living wage, a pension, and healthcare. We can afford to give it to them, we're just too focused on making more billionaires.
