Fix the government first so then maybe they wont embezzle the funds that are supposed to go to programs that will help the poor. That's from my experience though. 

Hmm maybe a program where they give people jobs. Because it is better to teach a man to fish than to give them a fish. So basically improve the access  to and quality of education and increase employment by making more governemnt programs (roads, bridges etc).

Economy

Calling @Economy

Ok guys so as the OP mentioned, simply giving out checks doesnt solve the fundamental problem. Welfare just keeps u hooked

 

what you need is to get these ppl to produce (by giving them jobs) and so that they have the money to in turn purchase things. If they produce and consume proportionally, they dont drain wealthy or Government being unprodctive

 

The problem many people have is they look at the economic disparity as a finite pie that must be split between everyone. They see that the wealthy have a lot and the only way to ensure everyone gets a hetter standard of living is to yank out wealth for redistribution...

 

The problen with this thinking is that a pie is finite. But economic activity (production and consumption) is not finite. Theres no limit to how much you can raide production, consumption and productivity/efficiency. Why recycle wealth when you can simply produce more instead?

 

Education is important so people have the skills to be productive in todays society.

 

Instead of focusing on welfare, assistance programs which just focus on treating the symptoms of poverty, why not go to the root cause and actually eliminate the need for these things?

 

Infrastructure is so important. You cant move goods or get investments if you dont have good roads, reliable power grid etc. Focus more on these investments and less on treating symptoms of poverty with social programs. Dont give a man a fish everyday, teach him to catch it, and give him the fishing equipment so he can do it himself

 

Dont waste so much on useless crap. The $Trillions spent yearly on military globaly. discusts me. Not only is there a loss of life, but its very poor allocation of resources with no lasting economic benefits. Its a financial drain taking away resources that could be used in better investments

 

Industrialization from these investments will create opirtunities and increase economic capacity and economic activity. People can produce more and consume more.

 

Put in place fair minimum wages to ensure the wealthy dont take up all the extra economic wealth. Also keep taxes on lowest incomes low so that the poorest people can still take advantage of some purchasing power.

 

Taxing the rich more than everyone else is fine to an extent but dont exagerate and look to that as the solution to everything as some people do. Over-exagerating taxes on wealthy will discourage entrepreneurship and people from striving ng to take chances at.

 

Id also like to point out Corporations are public companies. Average people own shares in them also even if its just in their retirement fund and they get affected if these companies loose profits. Also an average Corporation has a margin for profit of only 10% to 15% of revenue which means if you raise taxes on them much more, to remain profitable they will raise prices for everyone and no one will benefit from that

 

Cordination among Nations to eliminate tax heavens (Countries where Corporations pay almost no tax like in Switzerland) would help so that wealthy dont run away from paying their fair share but good luck ever getting the wirld to agree on a standard

His greedy rich parents found out about it and locked him out of everything.

Also because potatoes (esprcially fried) are delicious. :neyde:

yes but many boys in third world countries already have more education than women, and it's been proven in studies that when you educate women there is a bigger and much more beneficial return.
