On: What if the problem of poverty is that it’s profit...

[mychael]

This reads to me as "People have no money because they have no money", which is tautological.

[superuser2 → mychael]

It's a little more than that: focusing on the expense side is useless, nothing is going to help much besides increasing income.

[lbebber → mychael]

Well, exactly: it's very hard to drag yourself out of poverty if you have little money.
