So far the government has been a failure in response to poverty. Social programs don't work as they allow for to many people to cheat. How ever the Clinton approach was closest to the best in my opinion, he helped to create an environment where everybody that wanted to work could get a job. His welfare to work program, raising taxes on the very rich and reinvesting it in the poor without giving it to them might be something that needs to be looked into closer. Education is an influence on poverty. Everybody needs to be something whether it is a taxi driver or a doctor everybody has potential for something.

I don't know what thest way out of poverty is, but if you want to know what the BEST way out of poverty is that would be getting an education, speaking english, and getting a job.

I disagree that there is lots of help for the working poor, I have seen directly that unless you fit into the "low income requirement" scale, there is virtually no help for working people who need a hand to make it above poverty level. (I am speaking about the state of CA)

One in favor is that it helps people in need.  Some people may need temporary assistance in order to become self sufficient.

I would support anyone who helps out this cause and have myself on occasion, however the simple fact remains that they are poor because we are rich. There isnt, as many like to say, enough to go around, not if we want to maintain our current standard of living.

Go out with friends. Join volunteer organisations. Take time to visit young cancer patients (and you'll realise just how lucky you are!). Help the poor. Pray.

If I had the money...I would fix up inner city schools and make sure they have modern computers and have people who know how to fix them. With large numbers of people leaving the country and moving to the city, this could be very helpful. I would also work on feeding and clothing the poor in America.

Maybe you can do it the old fasioned way:  go door to door, and ask people to give you money.\n\nIf that doesn't work, write letters to rich multi-millionaire Democrats like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer, Michael Moore, and Hillary Clinton.  They're always telling us the poor deserve more, well, here's their chance to step up and lead by example.
