I think you’re underestimating how much trauma correlates with wealth in America. It’s not just the trauma of being poor, it’s trauma of growing up in a dangerous area, or of your parents getting divorced, or of getting sexually assaulted, or of young friends or family members dying. All of which get far more likely the poorer you are. Obviously I’m not saying that there aren’t wealthy, Ivy League educated people with trauma. But if we’re looking at the stats it’s not even close.
