"...making poverty terribly infectious. If that were to happen, its general elimination would be, I am certain, remarkably rapid."

How about a digressive income tax?

First $5000 of income taxed at 100%
Next $5000 of income taxed at 90%
Then everything above that is yours to keep.

That way...no one could AFFORD to be poor !!! (g)

You can choose a ready guide

In some celestial voice

If you choose not to decide

You still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears

and kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that's clear

I will chose free will.

RUSH (Free Will)
