  • This Calls For A Sexy Party:

    It’s not the governments job to reduce poverty. They need to get rid of welfare and force persons people off their butts and out to get a joB!

  • Capone:

    The government can do modest to alleviate poverty. They can not legislate passion, self discipline, and morals. All of which are required to elevate one out of poverty. All they can do is provide charity.

  • Whatever you say:

    Really the only way is to find a way to increase jobs as there are many impoverished people willing to work.
    But poverty can only be reduced to an extent, because if you payed for food, clothing and shelter for persons who do not have it..In two years you would have double the amount to take care of ,as people are always looking for and simple way out.
    In four years triple…etc.etc.
    Jobs are the only answer, and we dont make anything in this country anymore, so i reckon were pretty screwed.

    Offer incentives for businesses to offset high taxes in urban areas. Also, and this is long term, match education. Urban schools are always underfunded. Every school should be funded equally, per student.

    This is a state problem.

    Go through all the questions and answers and you’ll find 17 year girls pregnant whining that no one will help them. Then they want welfare.

    This is the first around of government making welfare.

    IF THESE PEOPLE WERE TOLD: You’re on your own and I have my kids they would make different decisions.

    I have no pity for this sort of poverty.

    My parents didn’t have the aid of government, welfare, food stamps.
    They had to pay for everything with their jobs.
