      Well he addresses that, the lowest level gets some assistance. Once you reach a certain income to climb out you lose the assistance and effectively are back in poverty again.

      Uh… right where they are? The American welfare state is insufficient across the board, so it needs to be strengthened across the board, and employers across the board should be forced to pay living wages.

      vast majority people in actual poverty spend their lifetime in poverty. about 10% make it out, mostly via education for gifted kids.
