Studies are clear: the savings from eliminating poverty would be enormous, reducing costs associated with health care, addictions, policing, and so on… with greater funds, people living in poverty… require fewer social services, are more motivated to achieve greater education, and have more resources and better drive to seek better jobs… a basic income through a negative income tax that would give money directly to people who need it… but “community leaders” too often ignore this idea.
