One of the most powerful things we can do to end the scourge of a mental health crisis is to end poverty. It's impossible to overestimate the role that chronic economic despair plays in pushing people into a state of crisis.

I'll keep saying it in hopes your understand. treat capital gains tax equal to income and use it to lower taxes instead of (or as well as) raising minimum wage which burdens small businesses. A living wage is not the same across the country.

Well, maybe we could 'end poverty' If we weren't giving all our money to brutal Israel to carry out Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing, and to corrupt Ukraine fight Russia.

You help end poverty by educating equally & equitably every child in this country. You don't wait till it's time for college & dangle a free college education in front of them to get them to vote for you.

We can’t end poverty without ending capitalism

Fix the poverty problem and you'll find that most of the drug problem has gone away.

End poverty is like saying, end death or end violence. What are you on about? Just bring back the workhouses and asylums thank you.
