Someone should mention to the Indians, by the way, that we have the world’s fattest “poor” people.

It should also be mentioned that the United States gubmint has spent trillions of tax dollars on the so-called "war on poverty" in the past 40 odd years with the result being a higher rate of poverty now than when the "war" was started.....

I find the term “war on poverty” ridiculous. How can you fight something which is not exists naturally (poverty means absence or lack of wealh actually).
No surprise why de-facto this war makes more poverty because it’s aimed to strip one of money to give it to another who already managed to lose his own and know how to do it one more time.
Not to mention if being a poor is turning to be a nice career choice this way reducing producing population.

So you can see at least three effects corrupting productivity in just one nice sounding “war on poverty”.
