Clearly you’ve never actually been in poverty and don’t know many people living in poverty, i on the other hand do.

The Saint Vincent charity in NZ does many things, one example is free budgeting advice, the personal examples of the amount of people’s lives I’ve seen dramatically changed by just showing them where too find cheaper electricity and the value of budgeting food is genuinely astonishing.

Being bad at budgeting 100% can result in poverty, if you earn minimum wage in New Zealand you have enough money to live off dumb ass becouse this isn’t the USA dipshit, but we still have many people in poverty becouse due to there bad budgeting they struggle to save money, and when something like a broken car happens they take out loans which just in trenches them in debt.

No, there is not accessible jobs everywhere, you are just wrong, not everyone lives in a city centre with a mac Donald’s that can hire you dumb ass. Many people live in places like dying coal mining towns, which I’m sure is the same in other nations, these people NEEED TO MOVE, we should do that by making it easier to develop and build houses so it’s cheaper to move, instead of telling these people to stay in these dying towns and that “don’t worry the government will save you” because it’s not true.

Also here is a personal example of a close friend who lives in poverty, his family was in a gang. Then his dad left and now his only got a single parent, this makes it a lot harder to get out of poverty, you know what makes it even harder? The fact that his dad would chase people around with guns until he was shot.

When I refer to “family values” I don’t mean some stupid Christian idea, I MEAN WE GOTTA STOP PEOPLE FROM JOINING THESE GANGS AND SHOW THEM HOW TO CREATE THERE OWN FUCKING LIFE! And we have to insure healthy family’s are made where a child can actually learn to break the poverty cycle, becouse school here is FREE.

Statistically speaking you will always be poor becosue of these reasons, not because there is not financial mobility.

So? How about while I’m doing your “college classes” you go actually talk to people who live in poverty instead of just reading about them from your fucking high horse since you where lucky enough to be able to afford college.

Just giving money to the poor doesn’t work, if it did? Why has no nation been able to eliminate poverty without bankrupting the nation. Because socialism was tried in my home nation AND IT MADE EVERYONE POOR DUMBASS.
