This reminds me of Ta-Nehisi Coates: the problem of race isn't people of color, but the deliberate and dangerous "Dream" of those who believe they are white. Study the architects of injustice, not its victims, to understand it and end it.

What a ridiculously simplistic view. Poverty is primarily the result of two factors:The ability to make$. The ability to hold onto one’s$. Take all the $ in the world & disperse it equally; in a gen. or 2 the poor, rich & middle classes would be the same size as today.

The Vatican loves the poor, that's why they oppose birth control. Living off poverty is their business model.

So birth control and abortion has been legal for a half century...? Why are there still poor people? Have their numbers dropped? Why aren’t all Catholics poor? So much silly in one tweet.

Exactly! The reason to study the poor is to investigate the system which makes them poor & enriches the rich. And to know the people who will, in the end, do the work of fixing it.

If you haven’t read Orwell’s Road to Wigan Pier it’s a must read for some rich historical and global context on poverty and the human state.

This needs to be stated again and again and again. Poor people do not create poverty. It is inflicted upon them by the rich.
