To stop poverty, we must stop corruption first. All those countries who have highest rate of poverty have highest rate of corruption. See for instance, India, Somalia, Myanmar they have common enemy aka corruption.
I believe we will all try to bring up Ideas that when resolved, we can or may be able to solve this Poverty Issue but I still stand to disagree that there will always be poverty regardless of what we do. It is inevitable, it is the rule of life and what ever phrase we might us to qualify it. All your fingers are not equal and so is life. Even if we where to eradicate corruption, make every on educated and the likes, every one still cannot earn the same and in that circle of classification, we will still have the richer one, the mid richer ones and the lower richer ones. Which means, the lower richer ones can still not afford what the higher richer ones can afford which still makes them poor in that circle.
