I mentioned in my tweet that an earlier draft had said 'eliminate poverty.' We just reframed it in the positive (create prosperity).
If I were you I'd make it your explicit goal to decrease poverty. You may think you've just phrased the same idea in a different way, but it's so common when optimizing complex systems to be aimed at slightly the wrong target, and completely miss the one you wanted to hit.
