The biggest problem with poverty in America is the system that produced it. It’s not enough to simply help those in need; we need to stop helping those who are not in need but just want more anyway. They pay millions to sway elections of people who’ll siphon off billions to them.

Poverty is not independent of wealth. In order for an individual to be wealthy, a large group has to be poor. In order to decrease poverty you have to decrease hoarding by those with too much wealth.
