I agree with this. Money can alleviate acute poverty—the kind caused by natural disasters, devastating illness in a previously independent and productive person, or man-made situations such as the aftermath of war in a country that was not impoverished prior to it.

It does not do much for chronic poverty, because the causes are entirely different.

The following statement of Erin Wildermuth proves that this is doomed to fail “fixing our current system to make it fairer.” When you see the word FAIRER you know that they are talking about SOCIALISM. The reason these people are poor is because of socialist governments that prohibit capitalism and property rights. Socialism ALWAYS leads to starvation and poverty. Only unrestricted capitalism can save them. Our country will follow if Obama and the Dems get their health care and carbon tax.
