[Discussion] Maybe a way to end Poverty

[Monxstaa]

So much people suffer from poverty they hardly eat or drink clean water. What if *big what if* all the successful company's give one days revenue to charity wouldn't that end poverty or at least make it rare because some company's are so rich yet they store that money in their banks. Right now so much people dont because we watch them starve and like most charities they take a lot of percentage rather than help the poor right, anyways that was just a idea i had today. ​

There will never be an END to poverty we can only lessen it. What you're saying could help but it would never solve the problem completely.

see, there are politicians that are trying to do that exact thing, but the problem is in america, the rich don't want to recontribute back to the society that made their fortune possible at all.

"i worked hard for what i have, and i shouldn't have to pay lazy poor peoples bills"

they assume that all poor people are just lazy and that anyone can work hard an become rich like them. made even more ironic by the fact that most of the rich 1 % inherited their fortunes a didn't do shit.

i think that the rich should be taxed ( not even more, just the same), but the problem is that most big companies find legal loop holes to not pay any taxes at all, which creates huge problems for the economy, then they use their acquired wealth to conrtoll the masses and politics. (see donald trump)

if the rich would pay their taxes, and america had a "living wage" then a lot would change.

Poverty isn't about just money, it's about the situation in terms of geography, political, and social arrangement that these people are in. U can give all the money u want but if a country doesn't have resources or political stability poverty still resides

 

[patrickscott]

Poverty could have ended a long time ago but the fabled group of elite 'people' have this mentality that if everyone had money, they would have less, and they don't like less. It's that simple, the people in power need poor people to live off and manipulate. Think of it as raising sheep.

Poverty is not just a monetary status.

That is totally one-sided. They absolutely shouldn't want to do it against their will, which is what the government tries to do. There are plenty of rich people out there that donate and run charities, because they WANT to do it. Choice is key.

 

[The Western Wheel]

The elite would do anything to perpetuate poverty. The symptoms that come along with mankind's worst disease offers to many exploits for them to cure.

You keep them dumb, then I will keep them poor, said the King to the bischop.

OT. Yes... Your proposal would do good.

Divide and conquer. They want no peace and equal prosperity.

 

[Sennin of Logic]

Poverty isn't something that can be ended, because all it means is that someone is on the low end of wealth. What needs to be solved is unemployment and terrible living conditions.

What is defined as "poverty" in America is what is considered "middle class" in many parts of the world.

The problem is that poverty is as poverty does.

People who are in poverty rarely own 'real' property - such as land. They rent it. Often times, they are consumers of alcohol and various other vices like cigarettes and recreational drugs (such as the wacky weed - 50+% of the people who use it -really- can't afford it and are essentially living paycheck to paycheck). People who are in poverty tend to choose convenience spending over necessary effort. They are more likely to spend money they don't have on items marked up out of convenience as opposed to invest the effort in living more cost-effectively.

Wealth is your time, effort, and skill. People who invest little of those things in their own personal lives have little wealth. It's as simple as that.

There is nothing that anyone else can do to change this. If someone is unwilling to work for themselves or to make lifestyle adjustments - then they ultimately will be poor and forever beholden to the good graces of individuals or a system designed to steal money from others and hand it to them (we call it welfare and "social safety net" programs).

I've seen people who are financially poor who are, personally, quite wealthy. They may not be able to buy all of the things they want, but they are self-sufficient and are never wanting of their needs. They live within their means and they -work- to improve their surroundings. If they are laid off from work - they are doing something, perhaps it's gardening, perhaps it's scrapping, perhaps it's clearing brush or doing something to the house. The things other people would typically hire a contractor to do - they do, themselves - they invest their skills in improving their lives, even if it has no direct monetary payout.
