Dr. Edberto Villegas on Poverty

"Poverty is structural in that it is caused by the control of a few
over the means of production of society like water, food, fuel, machines, etc.
These must be socially-owned and their suplus given in addition to their salaries
- back to the producers to uplift their welfare.
Even those who cannot work must be supported by society to uphold the dignity of man.
But the lazy will just be given a basic allowance in order to encourage him/her to work.
Society will provide jobs to everyone according to their inclinations.
It's not true that there will always be the poor among us
for man can entirely eliminate poverty."
