A typical (and I might add, Alinskyite) way of handling poverty for the left, is to simply re-define it to include more people. Or to define what hunger is.
They do it so they can spit out statistics to say things like “One quarter of all elementary school children go hungry every day” which means we need more money for school breakfast, school lunch, or school dinners for disadvantaged children.
This is their alternative to actually creating jobs that can be held by men and women who are part of families, which they are actively trying to destroy.
Isn’t the definition of poverty the bottom 15%? So mathematically 15% of the population will always be in poverty even if the poorest person of that 15% has a house made of solid gold and an army of 4000 servants
