It's not that easy being green.

Using that reality as a baseline, isn't the better course to try to lower the population of the poor? If there are less poor people reproducing there are less poor people.

"Curing" poverty in the sense any politician or policy wonk talks about is just, I don't know... Some sort of crazy utopian gibberish. Nonsense that makes people think such a war on human nature is even worth fighting. Its one of those dumb fictions a lot of people refuse to give up because they don;t want to look at reality and what we are and what kind of societies we naturally create. Silliness. Yes, we can and should do something about it. But curing it?
my grandpa came here from Italy. He and my gramdma were really poor, but they had 5 poor kids. One was my mom.

I think most middle class people could tell a similar story.

Since lots of the poor kids are conceived when their moms are young, how are you going to fight it? sterilization? Euthensia? Do you just mean the dark people?
