are the kindest, most generous (and polite) people I have ever seen
anywhere.
They tithe to the Church, which provides a huge safteynet for both
Mormons and nonMormons around the globe.

I'm not going to argue politics with you over Al Franken but and it's a
key "but", donating money to a church for operation of a church is
reported more by the poor in "red" states than in "blue" states for tax
purposes. It's not actually clear that poor folks in either set of
states actually donate more for religious use, just that reporting
makes one seem more generous than the other. I note that "blue" states
do have more in the way of per capita income and that too seems to
correlate with less obvious religious giving by the wealthier.
