No poverty is a heart string issue, and there is very little true poverty in the USA. The poverty level is calculated every year and is about 12,000 dollars a year and less, but that number does not include government assistance like welfare subsidized housing medical care, elder care, and tons of other money already given to that person or family. And if you are poor and waiting on the government to help you then you will always be poor. Hunger is an excellent motivator.

No matter what happens there will be people who make less than the average.
Thus you cannot eliminate poverty unless you can ensure that everybody makes the same amount of money.

Poverty is a mental disorder. The poor could win a lottery, and in 5 years they would be right where they are today.

No. But I fail to see how fighting poverty is the federal government's business, anyhow.
Such an activity is neither enumerated nor implied in the Constitution.

All spin.
Poverty is an integral and necessary part of any capitalistic system. Simply put, "haves" can not exist without the "have nots". You can not eliminate poverty without a socialistic redistribution of wealth. Anybody telling you that they have a plan to eliminate poverty without forcing the rich to give up their wealth is blowing smoke up your skirt.

Poverty gets worse the more the government tries to fight it.
Eliminate the welfare state- step number 1.

I understand what you ask, but a lot of impoverished people need to take a stand and make changes in their own lives too.

Bush had allll the plans in the world but what use did that do?
No, the only solution is to find a responsible candidate who has the resolve, the smarts and the experience to navigate the land mine facing the Presidency come 2008.
I am rooting for Hillary.

I'm more worried about illegal immigration and it doesn't appear as if any have a good plan for that either.
