Nothing to say that woman was living in poverty.
I'm not sure what your point was - which deep seated problem? Being killed in a car accident?

Something which is entirely in control of the private sector, though they can't be bothered.
Open the borders they say.

A single mother of 28 years old with 6 kids supported by the state - what kind of future do these children ever have?

If a society is generally wealthy, is someone in the middle impoverished? Of course not. The item you reference argues the benefits of equalty. That's quite a different thing.
