RE: Poverty in the 21 Century?

Sure, people are not equal, that is a fact.

But transferring knowledge to people doesn't cost anything. But transferring 50% of our incomes to them does, and it also doesnt help them.

You know that saying: teach a man to fish and he will be able to feed himself, but give him a fish and he will depend on you.

There will always be jobs suitable for poor people in order to survive. Selling food is one option, and in many cases this type of food is better quality that you buy in supermarkets. I always buy my food from the farmers directly, I distaste GMO food.

The duty of the intellectuals is to teach the poor people ,and subsidize them with knowledge and morality. Not everyone can become rich, but everyone will be better off if people were let to do business freely.

It's not even that much work, most farmers actually enjoy being farmers, it's certainly better than being a bureaucrat, at least you are out in the air, not it some office. And farming is actually useful to society while bureaucracy is a detriment.
