That's a gross simplification. This country is much larger and has much different populations in terms of wealth, character of work, race, culture, state and local level political systems. Germany can implement a country wide policy. We are a tenuously united collection of very different states. Nothing is easily solved here, let alone something as impossibly difficult to tackle as poverty.
It's also worth noting that an essential part of what causes this country to innovate a lot is people are working without nets. There's no incentive to succeed like realizing if you should fail...
