re: Is poverty the common denominator of every major social problem?

If you compare races within different ranges of income, you'll see very little differences outside of outliers. The dumb and poor of all colors are the worst.

If you mean poverty causes them to be “the worst”, this is just false. The Great Society destroyed our society by making fathers unnecessary. Once single parenting became the norm among African-Americans the pathos increased dramatically, reversing positive trends before that.

Government’s only solution is to do more for the poor. So we have hiring quotas, food stamps, etc. But these things serve to stigmatize them in the eyes of the taxed.

White Americans are statistically following the same path as blacks have, Out of wedlock birth rates are soaring. What we are witnessing is a race. What will happen first? Will our society implode because the ratio of productive people to winos gets too small, or will the productive people develop robot technology fast enough to create a class of machine workers?
