Answer 1

you cant really... its a nice thought but its just not practical. i mean i expect you dont give poor ppl your pay cheque every month?? well no one else really wants to either. if ppl work for their money they dont want to give it away, thus completing the cirle of poverty.

Answer 2

This is a most excellent example. It is true that the caste system is still in place. The fact that it has been removed is a lie to appease the middle class. The poor are still very well aware of it's existence as are the wealthy. It is not only found in India's culture but rather through out the world. The lie that it is not in place is just more strongly held in other parts of the world. Even in the U.S. academic standards vary by region. The wealthy continue to create the poor for their use. And the masses of fallen for the lie that the poor are poor out of choice. We have seen this expressed here several times. I feel the only way to truly eliminate the poor is to enhance the education of the masses in this matter. Only they have the power to change the political and social scene. Many blame the over population on the poor. But in many cases birth control is economically not available. And even if offered many religions have banned their use of contraception. I have even seen on this board where many support their religion view on this ban and state it is the people choice to have sex. Sex is an innate response. It is also perhaps the only human pleasure the poor are still able to enjoy. The poor must be educated that they deserve the existence that is afford to others. That they are not trapped or cursed.
The masses must also be aware that no one would choose to be poor or that it is a curse to be bared. This additional education is not to replace the humanitarian efforts already in place but rather to compliment them.

Jesus said that the poor will be with you always. I believe when an individual sees someone with a need, that if you can do something to ease their poverty, then do it. On a larger scale the State or Government can do some things like give aid or health benefits to supplement for those who work below the minimum wage. A lot of the poor in America are working poor.

Answer 4

Why it's true that show people are poor because of their own choosing, but the flip side of the coin is corporate America itself.

Retailers (Wal-mart, Home Depot, etc.) always expect more out of their employees than they are willing to pay them. Yet, it's quick to point out to the customers' "you get what you pay for"; but, when it comes to flip side of the coin, their attitude is, why shouldn't we expect more out you than we are willing to pay you?

I know of people who have been working for Wal-mart for over 20 years and still don't even make a measely $15 an hour. At Home Depot, people there are paid so little money that I have seen almost on a regular bases where they would hire as many as 10 people at a time and within 3 weeks or less, all of them have quit. Rather than deal with the issue (equal pay for equal work), management makes out it doesn't understand why and writes it off as just part of the retail statistics.

What makes it so bad is, companies like this tell you they hate the unions, but they do almost everything they can to make a person want to unionize, then make out it wasn't their fault. Yet, they don't have any problems over paying their CEO's. Corporate America is part of the problem. If a baseball player is not worth 7 million a year, what "winter day" is a CEO worth 100 million plus a year?

Yet, corporate America has a problem with individuals being on welfare, but I never hear of corporate America having a problem with corporate welfare.

Answer 5

Firstly nobody is poor in North America, I truly stand by that statement. Even the homeless living in the gutters in the US are not poor compared to parts of the world.

People don't realize that in parts of Asia and India people are raised to be beggers, are intentionally disfugured for sympathy from tourists. These families go back generations and generations of beggers.

And no poor people are not lazy like some have stated, maybe in North America where you actually have a bit of equality. In some countries there is no equality and these people have no chances at all.

The only way to remove poverty is to remove greed. There are anough resources globally for all, but people are greedy.

Answer 6

I take no excuse for being poor, at least not in America. Get up from your a'ss, get educated, and get a job. I thought this was the land of possibilities. Immigrants swim across oceans to come here and get rich, and you were born right in the middle of it, but keep whining all day long, It's so hard, I don't have any money.. Communism was supposed to eliminate poverty, it didn't. Capitalism is supposed to make everyone rich, but it's not.

Answer 7

It's time that the poor and the sufferring rose up and took their share of the worlds wealth, but as to how it would be done escapes me. Many years ago the homosexuals of Great Britain got together and planned a strategy that would help their communities. They infiltrated all the three main parties and worked on the laws of the land. Anyone with half a brain can see how they have managed as far as equality is concerned.

Answer 8

There are enough billionaires (the Vatican included) in the world that if they were not so greedy and pitched in some of those $ there would be no poverty. Bill Gates is a great example of giving and helping. He is very generous in his attempts to help the less fortunate. Too bad everyone doesn't follow his example.

Answer 9

i imagine that finally we will be in a position to reduce poverty to a lengthy way decrease numbers globally- yet no longer for some hundred years. finally, we will be in a position to genetically engineer microbes that would replace dry parched barren land or maybe wilderness sand into fertile soil. we are able to also create fruit and grain plant life which have more effective yield, are extra nutritious, and advance faster and excellent off extra regularly. we may be able to have a real international broadband internet it is freely accessible to anybody. this may enable all toddlers (and all adults) to have get entry to to tutorial supplies everywhere they are. we may be able to have new, low-cost and useful kinds of potential that would properly be generated everywhere and widely dispensed. we may be able to have technologies to mass-produce man made housing on call for. Will there be fairly no poverty? No. there'll nonetheless be those who for one reason or yet another won't be able to be helped or do not prefer to be helped. yet maximum folk could have get entry to to all the nutrition, outfits, seem after and innovations they choose.

Answer 10

Don't have enough to feed the parents as is?! then stop procreating, that should cut down the population growth and there would be more food to go around. Next thing to do is get an education or high paying high demand skill and get a job. A good percentage of American jobs have been exported to various countries including India.

Answer 11

Make money obsolete, and let technology proliferate so that everyone has the same access to health care and information.

And many poor people are NOT poor simply because they're lazy. Some have lost their spouse who happens to be the main income provider for the household, some have mental illness, others have been injured and become disabled or have suffered under an illness.
