So many people are interested in amassing wealth without giving a dime to the less privilege around them, yet they will still be among the first to criticize the government in its failure to eradicate hunger and poverty in the country. You should also know that the duty of eradicating poverty must not be left to the government alone. You must also contribute your quota.
 
If you have worked to be wealthy or lucky to be one, you should see it as a social responsibility to help the less privileged people in the society. If I may ask, do you feel comfortable driving past several beggars on the street when you have billions of money in your account that you or your entire family may not be able to exhaust in the next 100 years?
 
Think about this seriously. With the so much money in the world, poverty can greatly be reduced if not totally eradicated.
 
All that is necessary is the distribution of this wealth.

There is enough to go round.

Note:
You must not necessarily give physical cash or money directly in order to help the poor or the less privileged. You can set up an empowerment scheme where they could be empowered or work to earn a living for themselves. It is like teaching them how to fish instead of offering them the fish directly to eat. I guess it is best that way.
It depends on where you live, there are countries that charge you 50% or even more in taxes with the purpose of redistributing that wealth, so if people in those countries do not feel like giving even more of their money to those that have not earn it I cannot blame them, what you say will work if the government did not charge taxes or if the tax was very low.

But if you are already paying so much in taxes in which you are effectively giving half of your time and life to the government so they can solve those problems, and they do not do it then it's entirely their responsibility and you should not feel responsible to try to do even more, if you want to do it you are welcome to do it but there should not be any moral obligation.

yes you are right I also think like you, actually poverty can be overcome if there is a will and there is an effort to be successful, if there is no security then it will be very difficult to be able to do that.
Poverty can be totally reduced if not eradicate if only people will be more open to look for job opportunities to sustain their family needs,and not just focusing on theirselves.If they have the will to survive in this crucial world,then they should find ways how to find a means for their living.

I agree, instead of giving them money better to help them how to improve and earn by themselves so they can stand on their own without relying to others to be able to eat. In this case the government has a resonsibility to give these people a resources, it cant be done by ordinary people unless he/she is rich. Usually rich people has their own way to give back for the blessings they received and that is by donating money in their own chosen charity and not to random beggars in the street.
Yes.The government should offer more job opportunities that will cater the jobless people and have their own source of income.Through this way,unemployment will be reduced along with poverty.We cannot totally eradicate poverty at all,but we can start minimizing and reduced it if majority of the people will now have their own jobs to provide the needs of their families.

Yes we can do. But the reason for the existence of Capitalism is the rich and the poor. So, a poor person can live normal until helper's help is over. After he has to do something to make his living. Or we should go back to socialism for everyone to live in the same situation.

in religion we are taught to pay zakat and alms. zakat is emphasized to be paid when we have income at a certain value and with the percentage amount that must be paid, this is intended to help the poor. if this is carried out correctly then many poor people will be helped

The thing is that most people are simply too greedy, billionaires would rather hoard their resources then distribute money to the homeless. Its sad but true.

Yes that's true as greed of the people is one of the main reason for the poverty but at the same time if a country has proper administration system then there might not be poverty.
Poverty in one's self can be address if we only have a dedication to strive hard and work to have earnings for our needs and I think it is doable with the help of crypto currency because for me its a universal new kind of work that everyone on this world can be benefited if they only want to and as my past experienced that crypto is a big help for my family's hospitalization needs and it truely helps.

I think you are a dreamer because it is impossible to realize your ideas in the current world. I noticed long time ago that people are like animals. Yeah, we are really similar with animals. We must have food, warmness, security, sex and so on. Everybody thinks just about himself. A weak and silly person will probably die but a strong and smart one has much more chances to survive and to be successful. Who is stronger, smarter, faster those persons get much more from the common resources than others. You suggest that such a person should think about others persons and help them in some situations. Why? A lion do not help a hyena or a turtle in the nature. A lion is strong and he gets more but hyena is weaker and he gets less. In the human world everything is similar.

For me, poverty only means uneducated peoples. If you have some kind of knowledge and you know how to use it to you will leave because of it in your life it will help you survive in this cruel world but if you ignore study and waste your time then there is nothing expected from you. I do help a lot of people around me whenever I can but obviously when I want to. I cannot help everyone every time but whenever I can I do Idea share them money and knowledge and whatever I can but I like if someone is hungry for knowledge and not only making a drama for money.

Stupid people, teenagers, and losers are the only ones that think this is the solution.

Unlike a lot of people here, I have experienced what wealth distribution to everybody would lead to...instead of having 20%-10%-5% poor people in a country we ended all poor. Dirt poor! This was the result of socialism and distribution of wealth to everybody! Cold, hunger, lack of medicine, lack of services, lack of everything.

The moment you start your crusade to eradicate poverty you can be sure you're going to end with all those you wished to help just as poor as before and just as poor as everybody else.


Just two way to give the lives of poor people be better, one gives him a job and the second makes an education so that he can manage the money he has, for example he can innovate to make a job with the expertise they have, surely with strict supervision.

And from where is going the one that employs those guys all the money to pay for those wages?
Oh, let me guess...out of his own pocket or from the government by taxing the ones that were able to get a job without help, thus punishing a part of the citizens in order to create a fake utopia where everyone is employed and leaves a beautiful life!

Do you really believe that jobs can be created just like tokens, with a few clicks?


Stop talking crap, because you are only making a ass of yourself. My father had very humble beginnings and he worked hard to build a very successful business. In the end he had 1040 people working for him and he paid them respectable wages. None of these people were slaves, they fed their families and they had a decent living standard.


Too late, you've been uncovered !!!
You capitalist slave driver pig! /joking  Grin

Based on what I saw on youtube or in real life where a homeless get money from bypassers and earn a couple of bucks a day, we have to accept the fact that it can only help them  for a couple of days too but if we teach them how to earn money in a decent way it would help them for a lifetime but it also depends upon their status and condition. I think it is too easy to spot a lazy one from a real poor person that is having a hard time with his or her life suffering from poverty. I actually don't trust charity organizations as some of them has shady whatsoever. I prefer to help motivate  or make a way that could help them get out from poverty if only I am a wealthy person.

Who are we? To eradicate poverty we need an effort from the whole population of the World, but actually a lot of those who are in poverty don't realise the real size of their problem and can't build a community effort.

For millennia, people have tried to create a just society and eradicate poverty and nobody has succeeded in doing it in practice. We are all very different in their own type of character, inclinations and habits. Therefore, if you create equal starting opportunities for everyone, many of them will not use simplicity, others will find a way to use them to harm themselves or others and your good intentions will not be realized. Apparently, the elimination of poverty in general is impossible if we look at this problem from the point of view of religion. From this point of view, each of us has our own tasks in this world, which we must solve independently on the plane of the soul. If our physical world is perfect and people do not need anything, spiritual perfection will be impossible. Therefore, most likely, mankind is not able to solve this problem, it contradicts the vision of the Creator.

You think being wealthy is luck, lmfao..

I'm not even that wealthy and it's just luck that I have made all of my income from, it's just luck that I choose to spend my money on things that hold value, it's just luck that I haven't pissed my money away paying interest on loans and buying things to throw away..

I believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome..

I suppose if we actually had equality of opportunity, that would be a first step in the right direction then. But we don't. Society is highly segregated along socioeconomic lines. Those with the means to leave cities move to the suburbs, and obviously those who can't don't. This creates areas with wealthy tax bases while other areas suffer loss of a tax base that supports schools and social services, and that's a cycle that reinforces itself. The more people flee the crumbling areas, the lower the tax base and the lower the quality of schools and support services. There's absolutely no way you can say everyone has the same opportunities and the people who haven't thrived have failed solely because they chose not to try hard enough. There is, to be blunt, a wide disparity in the access to opportunity across our society.

But what would it change in the end, I mean, in the context of eradicating poverty? I don't think that much. Okay, let's assume there is equality of opportunity, that is everyone has equal chances for something, as I understand it. But does it mean that having equal chances means being equal? Not in the least, if you ask me. People are born into inequality, though some are definitely born more equal than the others.

Basically, you remove one barrier and open doors to an even higher one, and this kind of inequality may be observed even more markedly and felt even stronger like one individual being born to be tall, the other short, and so forth. In other words, equality in opportunity is not going to change the inequality which is inborn in people, which is what ultimately matters. It just makes this latter kind of inequality more streamlined, more straightforward, and thus felt even more acutely and painfully as it is no longer hidden by the former kind of inequality, inequality of opportunity.

That is right, Giving and offering cash directly to the poor class is not a solution and I believe that this way will never overcome the poverty in particular country. As you said that teaching and treat them to have skills and improve it is the best solutions. They should maximize their skills toward money. It definitely needs a long term and extra power to do because we should set their mind in order to be productive rather than consumptive or just accepting.

It could be wonderfull life if people in this world can help each other but i think this is almost impossible that rich people mostly does not care to poor people and giving money to poor people also will not solved poverty problem because they usually will being to lazy but rather than giving money i think we have to provide the opportunities to making money because in my opinion this way is more effective and we're successfull help them to make living
