Basically, lower taxes and pay for it by getting rid of whatever they are paying for exception military, and basic education.

Ok, so poor people are their own problem?

I am curious about the solution to this issue, because I don't think you can really argue that society bears the burden of it's underclass regardless of how the underclass got there. I'm being very careful here to be a-political. I have my own views about how much you can truly attribute to personal responsibility, but lets leave them out for now.

Assuming that, for whatever reason, there will always be some people who are poor, probably a sizable number, what do you do with them? Even starting from the premise that their situation is 100% their own fault, unless you're willing to simply kill them, society has to handle them somehow. Legions of poor simply living on the street doesn't seem like a good solution for pragmatic reasons if not humanitarian. Do the communities bear the burden? Church groups?

Or will you argue that we should just let them starve?
