As you have explained already that life will never be balanced even if the government set up alot of programs is fight poverty which I believe will only save the country from extreme poverty. However, total eradication of poverty can only be done by the people to the people (the rich helping those in need) but each individual common sense is also needed to eradicate poverty (Satoshi use his Bitcoin was created, Tesla developed an innovation vehicle etc.)
Why do you think that it is always the responsibility of the rich people to help the poor? The rich people got their wealth through decades of hard work.
The rich people got their wealth because they were fortunate not through hard work. Do you know how many people work hard and never make a million dollars? I think the rich should help the poor because making a positive impact in someone like so ones legacy will live forever it's the best thing to do it, what's the purpose of a rich man that can waste million dollar on drink while his neighbor barely eat and it doesn't have to be when the world is facing padenmic that the rich will help the poor.
There's a phase that says "the poor man son you don't help today maybe a threat to your son after you are late"
Why should they share that wealth with someone who remains poor because he doesn't want to work? The rich doesn't owe anything to anyone. And it is the responsibility of the poor people to learn new skills and get themselves out of poverty. For how long they want to survive on handouts?
There's different between share of wealth and helping people. Besides, helping the poor will limit crime activities and people dying for no reason. Do you know how many people who have died because they can afford better medical care?
Is the responsible of the poor to learn some skills but do you know how many poor people that have the required skills and couldn't get a job cause he doesn't know the boss at the top or doesn't have year's experience?
