Poverty is a choice, which often comes as a result of society making bad choices.

1. 
Problem: Housing

In USA, people are forced to get their own home as soon as they have a job, or forced out of the house at age 18 in some cases.
This creates a huge demand for houses, which drives the prices up.

Solution:
Parents shouldnt force their kids out of the house, because its economically better for them to live with their parents.
That way, they will have more money and thus, the housing crisis is over.

2. 
Problem: healthcare

Healthcare costs lots of money, and makes up significant part of the government's budget.

Solution:
Healthcare government budget should be abolished or greatly reduced, and the money used for healthcare should be given to the poor parts of population directly.

3.
Problem: prices

Prices in USA are very high, as a result of debt, lack of local production, and too much investment in luxury goods.

Solution:
Reduce debt, stop printing so much money, government should invest in local production and new buisnesses, ban many of the luxury goods and introduce limit on personal wealth, as well as greater tax for the richest.

These 3 simple solutions would solve poverty in the USA, but sadly, none of these are going to be implemented as no candidate has these as his goals.

1.Poverty is a choice, but on the individual, not the government.

It is a result of lazy or scared people not willing to do the hard work.

2.Redistributing the wealth only enables the lazy to be more lazy.  Hunger and necessity is a great motivator.

3. Partial agree with printing money but any government intervention on the American economy is a disaster.

Better than Communism . . 

Let me rephrase that comment, the less the government is out of the private lives of the people, the better off any country is.

Now you are getting it. :) 
If we can keep the governments hands out of our lives, then nobody would have to end up living like you.

You think perversion is ok. I'm surprised you are against child pron.

Child porn wouldn't have to be legislated illegal by government when people actually live with a conscience and a Bible.

So you are against government intervention in people's lives, but at the same time you want to make interventions yourself in other people's lives.

Since you make exception and make intervention in other people's lives because you think they dont know whats good for them, then government can also make exception and make intervention in your life because you dont know whats good for you.

Deciding a set of laws together with a religious book to abide by and a group of people deciding what is best for all are two different things.

The government can't tax you since you already live off of it.
