THE ROOT CAUSE OF POVERTY IS LACK OF RESOURCES.

Yes, I was just shouting.

The root cure for poverty is resources. There a number of things that effect how accessible resources are.

There are a number of factors that effect how skillful a person may be in getting their hands on resources.

Fact is, if 1% of the population has a vast majority of the available resources locked up, a significant number of the other 99% are going to be hungry, cold and sick, no matter what education, skills, values, etc., they may acquire. UNLESS, they figure a way to get their hands on some of that vast majority of resources the 1% is sitting on.

Yessirree. People can and do learn.
