Blessed are the poor - Jesus Christ ;-)
True.
But Jesus was not too keen on drunkards, thieves, and fornicators, or the incorrigibly lazy, and I don't think he would have thought more highly of druggies either, had they been around in first century Palestine.
Since these behavioral issues are associated with, and largely drive, most of the poverty in the U.S. today, it is not intuitively clear to me what Jesus' policy portfolio would include. "Go and sin no more" might be a start, and no doubt this would solve most of the poverty problem, were it effectively implemented.
