Poverty can't be eliminated as long as you measure it in relative terms. Some people will always have much less than others.

Well I suppose you could level things down so that no one is wealthy and everyone was more equal, and then there would possibly be little or no relative poverty, but there would probably be more absolute poverty. Having neither relative nor absolute poverty is difficult.
