What if poverty was not a priority to fix because it is profitable for some?

And now You Understand Capitalism at its Core. The Poor will feed the Rich and The Band Plays On.

And that is why I think eating the wealthiest 100 would be a fine solution!
the rich are only rich because most are poor

A good example is the housing market in the UK. Prices are kept artificially high because many people make a lot of money from it.
"The homes fit for heroes" by the Govt after WW1 did a lot to improve matters but the building industry has not changed much since then. Damp proofing and insulation have improved a bit but houses are still built the same way. Prefabricated houses can be built cheaply and quickly in factories but the building industry is so conservative that this is a step too far.
All over the UK prime farmland is being covered in "little boxes" when each town and city has lots of "brownfield" sites which could be used instead. Not so much money in that for developers,landowners and corrupt planning officials though.

Churches would collapse because they rely on the ignorant to put money in the collection plates. The more wise people become the less the business of religion. Keep people poor they do not get the quality education keeping them dumb makes them easy to control.

You are just figuring this out? There are Billions to be made, and have been for forever, on "helping" the poor!
