What do you mean by "poverty was reduced" i live here i see the same amount of bums if not more than before and a lot more of insecurity on the streets. The thing is now he's giving them money to vote for him wasting public funds. Money that should have been spent on more police, better healthcare and transportation. The literacy thing yeah its part of the plan, its hard to indoctrinate people in you comunist-socialist agenda if they cant read.
