In your opinion How can we end poverty?

Question

open answer

Answer 1

well in my opinion, we can stop poverty, if we stop spending money on useless "wars", not any particular war just war itself.

I'm sorry i can't finish this MSG! my thoughts are very deep on this subject and I'm one that cannot write something with out doing something that will show effort in front of me.   our world, NOT OUR COUNTRY, since all COUNTRIES have some kind of poverty, our world is falling apart everyday because of our lifestyle is changing to quickly for us to keep up on it in a slow paced way..  

not in a hateful or discriminatory way, but we (each country) should fix our own problems, poverty, whatever; before we try and help out others, if we didn't that when the time came we could help out 100%, since out own country will be already taken care of!

Answer 2

The money that was put into the War in Iraq could have been put into the US poverty system, but that's too much like right.

Answer 3

In my opinion, we can't end poverty.  Even if, hypothetically, we gave everyone in the world a million dollars, there would be those who would squander it and end up poverty stricken again in a short time.  If you offered everyone in the world a college education, there would be those who choose not to go.  If everything in the world were free, you would still have the contributing population and the non-contributing folks would still want their 'fair share'.

Answer 4

The answer is so simple, but yet so hard to grasp. Money, or at least the concept of money, is one reason if not THE reason why poverty exists.  Money is a creation of man. It is not a basic need, even though it creates the illusion that it is. Our current monetary system just encourages greed and corruption.

We need to build sustainable communities, based on cooperation rather than competition. Community currencies like LETSystems are one piece of the puzzle.

Answer 5

You can't!  Jesus even said so.

Answer 6

You can't until people quit doing drugs, becoming alcoholics and quit being crazy....none of those things are ever going to happen. Besides so much of our country's public assistance is scammed and abused that many poor people miss out because some jerk knows how to work the system. It's sad. I wish the state I live in would monitor people on PA better...I say if you can't pass a drug test then you shouldn't get PA....period.....if you can afford to do drugs you can afford to buy milk, steak and butter on your own.

Answer 7

Everyone take personal responsibility for themselves... from the politicians to the poor & birth control that's how!

Answer 8

Send me your money, then I will no longer be poor!  See, it's as simple as that!  I'll be waiting........

Answer 9

World War III?  Nuke us back to the stone age to level out the playing field.  No property, no possession, no money.
