Someone once said "The poor you will always have with you."
It looked like it was true. There's always someone incorrigible: they have a delusion that money is poison, or a conviction that money is evil, they're too forgetful to carry money. In short, they want nothing to do with you. Curing their "poverty" will be the gateway to fascism. Their poverty is a choice.
There is nothing that is positive-for-all. Some of us hate some of you and anything good for you is bad for us.
I don't care what you build. I hope to watch it burn.
Ok, I see your definitions. Objective poverty is quantitatively measured. Fine. You can't end it. Go ahead and try. There will always be someone who owns nothing.
"Human-made construct" is nothing. I had generously assumed you meant "social construct". Name one construct that is not human made. God did it? Aliums?
Here's part of the problem: poverty is the natural state of man. You're born poor. You'll be buried poor. That has nothing to do with "human-made constructs". You've inverted the causation.
Why are you trollin' /v/conspiracy? This isn't your bag, man. Go bait some libertarian over at /v/politics.

really.... previously you invoked "objective poverty"... now, it's a "social construct"

Was there anyone in this thread who gave you a response you liked?
It's a real stand-off of two parties with little more than opinions, I guess. Why did you reply twice?
