8. until poverty is understood to be a result of "pecking order" & predates the human species

I don't think poverty will ever be rid of; FDR tried with Social Security, Baby Boomers tried too, & now X & Millenials. But dogs, wolves, chickens, monkeys, etc. MOST ALL have pecking order, some get first access & all they can eat, then the next rank, then the next.... This is the root of class in human societies as well. Start there & maybe a greater reduction of poverty will happen.
