When it comes down to it, there will always be the have’s and the have nots. And yes, at the very basic level I supposed if you equate poverty with starving, it could go away. However, this thread proves the line in the sand for poverty changes. LOL @ the idea that “facebook” or internet and smartphones is the poverty line now…

I understand your hypothesis and a big part of me would agree with you . If you are inferring to the welfare system in America .

I think the problem would be our partisan process . If the Democrats proposed working for the state then they would be guilty of promoting Communism and If the Republicans proposed it they would guilty of some equally dastardly deed
