If "poor" was related to body mass index, which it used to be, ["poor" meant ribs sticking through skin], and taxes alleviated such hunger, then I think there would be not so many people interested in having a dole-bludger job.

If they'd required me to be sterilized and have my ribs a bit more visible, I'd have got a different job straight away instead of being a dole-bludger.

The USA must be the first country in history where people in "poverty" die of obesity. New Zealand is up with the play on that these days with great success in achieving obese poverty [as the word is used these days].
