A "Cure" for Poverty?

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses and concludes that there will never be a cure to poverty. The author instead recommends that society starts learning more about it and realizes why it is that poverty has been hanging around for centuries. The author feels that if society has substantial knowledge of poverty problems, maybe then we can start working on a cure, even if it is not a permanent cure.

From the Paper:

"Marriage is a constitutionally protected choice. The Supreme Court asserts that an individuals right to privacy regarding decisions to marry and reproduce as "one of the basic civil rights of man, fundamental to our very existence and survival." Marriage promotion mandates supported by Wade Horn and others essentially coerce economically vulnerable individuals to trade in their fundamental right to privacy regarding marital decisions in exchange for receiving job and life skills training. Government programs should not have the power to invade parents' most fundamentally private decisions regarding marriage as a condition for receiving federal funds. The United States of America is a country, which prides itself on freedom. The freedoms of this country's citizens are being compromised within our own government in the form of public policy. Poverty is a known factor in domestic violence situations; required marriage will only worsen the current growing trend in battering. Marriage is a civil right. It is not a cure for poverty."
