This is not my experience at all. I once had a job setting up home PCs and internet for low income people in my community. Almost every single home had a projection TV (the top of the line at the time) and a recent mercedes in the driveway. They’re able to afford these things because they are actually receiving income, it’s just not reported (and therefore also not taxed)

Everyone’s a drug dealer? Doesnt sound plausible. Or at least They’re getting so much income they can afford to run a fancy car (debt free because who’s lending to a person with minimal documented income).
I mean is that a poor person when they have $50k laying around to go buy a fancy car outright?
Something about your proposition doesnt add up in a really basic obvious way.

Where did I say drug dealer? Or is this the first time you’ve heard of jobs getting paid under the table?
And yes some of them had much more than $50k judging by their things. But hey, make them more wealthy. Some people are really good at gaming the system.
