Poverty isn’t just financial hardship; it’s psychological & emotional trauma that increases the probability of violence, addiction & even death by despair. It’s a petri dish out of which emerges the worst kinds of societal dysfunction. Our goal should be its complete eradication.

This is very true. So many of the problems we have as a society can be traced directly back to poverty. Not just here in the United States but everywhere in the world.

And, honestly, that goal is Easily achievable. The only reason poverty exists in the wealthy Western democracies is that it doesn't matter enough to us. Oh - and that we have the idea that charities should be taking care of the poor, rather than the government.
