Well that's fucking dumb. The whole point of what I was saying is that this mythical "make everyone not poor" policy doesn't exist. Different groups require different solutions, and some are more politically tenable than others, and some have unintended effects that result in other groups being worse off.
Demanding every policy help everyone and saying it's useless if it doesn't is more stupid than I know how to put into words.
