Poverty is unnatural.
It's a symptom of power structures.
To create poverty you have to seperate people from the land. Otherwise people can just grow their own food and medicine.
They created poverty during the industrial revolution, forcing people off the land, removing access to the commons.
In order to force people to move into urban centres to work in factories.
Outside of environmental disasters and times of war poverty really didn't exist before the industrial revolution.
Paying taxes won't solve poverty. The entire economic and political system needs to change.
Capitalism relies on the existence of poverty to function.
You can't exploit poor people if poor people don't exist.
That said I'm glad a tiny portion of the taxes I pay goes towards social programs and infrastructure and things that genuinely benefits humanity.
