Talk about ad homonym arguments. Define poverty. The common usage means a lack of what? Money.

In short, poverty did not exist until it was imposed on people by capitalists.

Were Native Americans in poverty before capitalism was imposed on them? The colonists in pre-revolution America would have died if not for the assistance of Native Americans, who had no currency.

No, half the population of the US qualifies for public assistance. That's Socialism.

How many jobs are created and maintained by Socialist-leaning policies and constructs? Public roads, public schools, food stamps, SOCIAL Security (Where DID you think that name came from?!), police, firefighters, sanitation, health departments, Medicare/Medicaid, forestry services (including fighting forest fires), libraries...

What would happen to the economy if the "burden" of all those jobs (hence consumers and taxpayers) ceased to exist? How would YOU replace them with no gap in services?

No diversions, answer the question.

No, YOU are selfish and greedy and, like all capitalists, project that onto others.

You have very clearly proven every one of my points.
