Yes, what you feed multiplies if you only give it enough money for bare survival. Then you can look at "them" with no effective schools, without educated parents providing health care and dental care, without good nutrition and proper pre-natal care, without ANY of the things we take for granted every day of our lives, and you can say "they" would only waste the money. There is something wrong with "them". Yeah, there is something wrong. They were born in the wrong place to the wrong people. So let's pretend they are a subhuman irremediable class damn their offspring while we're at it. Because that is what we are doing. You, and me, and everyone else. The history of the human race is change. Things can change when we have a will to change them. What is actually the case is that we do not have the will. There will always be suffering (and I would argue it is much more than marginal) as long as we accept it will be with us "for the foreseeable future"- an attitude like that is self reinforcing. I do NOT accept it.
