Well, it *does* make some sense that the US would be closer to "agrarian" than "welfare state". After all, we've been rather resistant to becoming a "welfare state" :P
I would be interested in seeing the study you're mentioning, I suspect that in nations that have "real" poverty, like the low gini african nations, other factors will begin to dominate the equation and the gini impacts will be reduced in significance.
