There are about the same amount of poor whites as there are poor blacks, even though only 12% of the nation is black... and about 70% are whites. Yet they produce the same number of poor people. If you got rid blacks, you'd get rid of 1/2 the poor. If you got rid of blacks + latinos? You'd get rid of the large majority of poor...
Also, I know very few people with more than one cell phone.... That's almost as good as your claim that 25% of Americans live in tents... LOL!!! That's an eternal TA classic...

That's as much as humankind aspires to: boasting about how material one nation has become. Civilized people have four cell phones, no less than two cars and a variety of meds to be taken when in our wisdom we need to die à la Socrates.

LOL! You're taking it a bit out of context. No one was talking about the "aspirations of humanity" or any such thing... This is just a simple discussion about material standard of living... FWIW, I have lived in America for most of my life, and I have never known anyone with 4 cell phones. I've only known a handful of people with 2, and they owned businesses and one was a lawyer, and had one for the business and one for family/friends/personal.

In what way are vacations and average work hours factored in?

No, although ownership rates are notably higher than most of Europe. The nations of Europe with the highest home ownership rates are Italy and Spain, I think.. And I think they are higher than the USA... I haven't seen the data, but I'm certain the Netherlands is lower... Probably even less than 50%.
