World leaders have agreed on 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development aiming to end extreme poverty, inequality and climate change by the year 2030. But what is needed to reach the goal? Can we eradicate extreme poverty by 2030?

"If only we could put our heads and minds together we could all end poverty". We could probably achieve if we were able to do this impossible feat.

Point out all the problems that poor nations and people have to deal then tell us that if only we would put our own personal lives, wealth, and dreams on hold indefinitely so that we can assist these billions of people that can't help themselves, we could solve their problem of poverty and As long as we remain their servants and caregivers forever more. Got it?

*It’s already 2022 and nothing looks promising. I’m 100% sure that poverty will still be alive by 2030 and not looking like it’ll get any better.*

We always going to have poor people around us. Plus you can’t reduce poverty taking from others! There is a lot of people who are poor who cause poverty upon themselves.

As noble as are such efforts, the cause of poverty is systemic. Poverty is one of the tragic outcomes of our systems of law and taxation. This connection was identified in the late 19th century by the American journalist, political economist and social philosopher Henry George. From his predecessors and by his own insights, Henry George traced the cause of poverty to monopoly privilege, particularly landed privilege, the conversion of earth -- our commons -- into private property. For this privilege those who control land and natural resources return to society a small portion of the full value of the benefits received. Every parcel or tract of land has some potential annual value, a value that is not created by the individual owner but by the community's investment in infrastructure and other public goods and services. Henry George argued simply that this value should be publicly collected in lieu of taxes on the incomes we earn, the goods we produce and the commerce in which we engage.

Specific political action is required to counter trends occurring in many countries. Poverty is increasing in the United States because the laws of the land have resulted in an escalating concentration of income and wealth. This concentration is caused by a public revenue system that rewards "rent-seeking" behavior over producing goods and services.

So, what about our equal birthright to the fruits of nature, to what is provided for all to use but which is monopolized by the few in every country.

Many people see abortion as a human rights violation and not a right 💔😢 A right to life… what is more basic than that? Let’s prevent pregnancies instead of putting women through the trauma of unwanted pregnancies or abortions…

A lot of poverty (certainly not all) happens because of poor personal decision making. Trying to fix this will involve taking away freedom and liberty, do you see where this is going?

It takes 2 to make a baby. there are only certain circumstances a woman should be able to have an abortion. what we need to be working on, is a way to have a fraternity test, early on in the pregnancy. that way the father and mother can both agree if they want to have an abortion. I personally would never kill my kid and would kill anybody who killed my kid.
