"Our focus is on remedying poverty in the United States" Why not focus on fixing the roots of poverty? Janie mentiond some root causes: greed selfishness stupidity bad choices overpopulation the inertia of large social systems A lack of education lack of opportunity lack of motivation self-righteousness failure to be responsible for the self failure to be responsible for the effect of the choices one makes on others failure to be responsible for and to others ignorance lack of life skills lack of social support lifestyle choices corrupt government officials substance abuse A great conflicting statement: "So, screw root causes... We have a problem and we need a cure"
