Well, I wouldn't advocate throwing too much money into the pockets of the impoverished, if that's what you're implying.
I
would advocate encouraging higher taxes on the wealthy and having those taxes be funneled into programs that improved educational opportunities for the poor, ensured they were at least clothed and fed, and (perhaps most importantly) ensured that scientific organizations received funds to engage in some
serious research and development into new technologies that improved all our lives and made resources
less scarce in the first place, thus assisting in alleviating the scarcity of goods and resources that is the fundamental factor contributing to impoverishment.
...Fuck. I really
am sounding like a liberal these days.
