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.
Similarly, it's dangerous to mix together the goals of eliminating poverty and eliminating economic inequality. They may be separate goals to you, but to your followers and people who work for you, they combine to yield the pie fallacy, and policies based on that are doomed.
The idea of GND is that our economics of austerity are based on pie fallacy and a big national mobilization is the way to grow the pie dramatically. It's a rejection of our country being a managed like a family budget. Also, though separate, poverty and inequality are linked.
Perhaps the fundamental disagreement here is: Is poverty and economic inequality linked? Imo: As the pie grows economic inequality means the growth is not dispersed proportionately due to systemic barriers. Thus you need to disrupt those barriers to solve poverty.
Wouldn’t the lump of labour fallacy instead argue for the complete automation of all fixed labor, rather than an investment in dynamic new labor markets aimed at rebuilding the entire nation’s infrastructure?
Nobody is saying the goal is to *eliminate* inequality. Strawman. *Extreme* inequality is a hugr problem. My guess is most people reading this thread would be shocked at the median life experience in the US, and see the problem as much bigger than just poverty.
*huge* Also, the related problems exacerbated by inequality: undermining any hope of meritocracy, capture of democracy toward narrow interests, reduction of future innovation (why try if you can't win), etc.
