There are plenty of safety nets when you're low income if you take advantage of the available benefits. Your children will be taken care of with medicaid/medicare, you'll receive food stamps, housing assistance. If you're not low income, you're on your own, which can be really tough for people in a middle income range slightly above being able to get those safety nets.
