Is it possible to solve the problem of poverty?

Question

Can we(society) get together and solve the problem of poverty? How?

Answer 1

Yes we can and it's not in sending food to the hungry, which was awesome if done, but the primary thing is to understand, tolerate and ultimately love your nieghbor...meaning anyone you come in contact with. Goes around, comes around. If you start now, it will flow allover the world and would eventually come back to you.

Answer 2

Ever since the beginning of time there were rich and poor,. Some people have more drive than others, some people have health issues, bad luck and some are just lazy. I think that we should leave the church in charge of the poor. This would take the poor off the streets and put them in the churches if they wanted to eat, and they would be taught different morals. If they don't show up for church they don't eat. God had laws about how to deal with the poor. The farmers were to leave the corners of their property to be harvested by the poor. NEVER does the bible suggest to give the poor food with out having them do something to get it. Free rides are not a good thing. We must teach our society to work to have a productive society. If we teach them to rely on the government we end up with Communism. Everyone in he world that is under the thumb of communism wants to get out and flee to America. Our freedom is wonderful and we must remember Freedom is never free. Someone has paid the price.

Answer 4

absolutely not - no system can make everyone equal - but what we have done is make poverty bearable ( in the more civilized countries ) after all how many families don't have a television - poverty is relative to the conditions of the people around you - at one time people in all countries starved to death in the winter but when is the last time we had that here in the US

Answer 5

With all due respect, this has to do with liberal attempts to create a perfect utopia, and does not place blame where it needs to be placed (which is upon the poverty-stricken themselves in the vast majority of cases, because of their stupidity, ignorance and laziness).

In addition, the main problem today is obesity which has reached epidemic proportions, not poverty.

Answer 6

I think there are way to many wealthy people that have no idea about the atrocities in this world. And seriously. if "we" educate people abou all the people in underdeveloped countries, i think that they'll want to make a significant difference! There is a solution!.!
