actually ending poverty....
it is so simple.... so so simple.... if anyone actually wants to end poverty.... all that they have to do.... is create a basic income.... and include everyone.... everyone above the age of eighteen....
someone is considered in poverty.... if they make less than fourteen thousand dollars a year.... so.... you could pull EVERY individual out of poverty.... instantly.... overnight.... if you created a basic income of twelve hundred dollars a month....
there should be something that goes to the children.... but this part is more complex.... does it go to the parents.... does part of it go to the children.... to empower children.... at an early age.... and give them more and more power.... as they approach adulthood.... you want to keep it simple.... but you have to give a family some sort of basic income for each child.... if you want to pull families out of poverty....
if you gave every adult twelve hundred dollars a month.... and every child four hundred dollars a month.... you would pull EVERY family out of poverty.... instantly.... overnight....
if you did this.... you would FINALLY put an end to poverty....
if you want more information.... read the chapter called basic income.... eye only created THIS chapter.... because eye think that more people are interested in ending poverty.... than people are.... in HOW to end poverty.... eye think that the majority of people would like to see an end to poverty.... even most conservatives.... eye think where everyone differs.... is on HOW to end poverty.... which is one of the reasons why.... we are stuck.... in this never ending cycle.... of never actually ending poverty....
eye just wanted to show you.... that it CAN be done.... and.... eye want to plant the seed.... plant the idea..... in everyones head.... so that you can let it perculate for a while.... and really think.... do you REALLY want to end poverty....
eye want to end poverty.... and one of the main reasons that eye want to end it.... is because eye believe that we are all connected.... and we feel each others pain.... either directly.... or indirectly....
directly.... because.... the more people who are impoverished.... the more crime that there is.... the more depression that there is.... and eye am not talking about the homeless people.... eye get depressed.... over the homelessness in my neighborhood.... eye do not know why.... but it somehow affects me.... does it affect you.... and homelessness.... makes a city dirty.... ugly.... do you want to clean it up.... for you.... if not for them....
eye think that most people want to end poverty.... as eye said.... everyone disagrees on how.... eye think.... another area of disagreement..... is WHO is going to fix the homeless problem.... fix the poverty problem.... is it going to be the government.... or the church.... or the massively growing non-profit industry.... everyone wants a different group to solve the problem.... because.... it puts power in the hands of the group that solves the problem....
here is my suggestion.... my solution.... lets create a separate organization.... to solve the poverty situation.... to implement the basic income.... eye do not have the exact solution at the moment.... but what if we created a separate organization.... a quasi-governmental organization.... AND.... a quasi-non-profit.... an organization that the government cannot control.... an organization.... that the government cannot suck up.... like it did with social security.... an organization that is separate from the government.... AND.... separate from the church.... an organization that feeds off of taxes.... AND.... donations.... OR.... perhaps.... ONLY.... donations.... if we implemented compassionate conservatism.... this might just work....
remember.... eye am not awake.... part of me is putting up the good fight.... fighting for the cause.... fighting for a better world.... and part of me is not here.... just like the song says.... just like it says in the song when eye am gone by three doors down.... there is a part of me that is putting up the good fight.... but.... there is also a part of me.... that has not yet arrived....
