I am not really sure that in this day and age or the situation of the economy right now that there really is a way to "pull the plug" on poverty. I feel that maybe there are ways that it could be made better though. First off by having people's views and stereotypes changed from blaming the poor for the problems of our society and not taking any initiative in their well beings in life, but more to the fact that there are people out there having hard times and that something needs to be done about it.
