Yes, I'm curious, too, as Jesus said: "For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always." Matthew 26:11. Which tells me that poverty would always be with us, not eliminated.

Jesus was right. Poor is a relative term. But it should be noted that in the United States the living standard of the poor keeps rising.
