I think and hope this century will be a turning point, people are becoming more aware and giving to the poor will become more common and furthermore come the middle of the century its not too inconceivable that most jobs will be performed by robot workers, so robots could make things for free, distribute for free, exc. people will be jobless yet nevertheless most things will be free.

@officialmer It seems Singer was saying there isn't or wasn't poverty in the U.S. (speaking overall).

[MrDanielHen]

@officialmer I live in the Ozarks. We have schools, and plenty of them.

Leave Princeton a bit - walk around - go to Detroit and the Ozarks where schools are needed. Go to the undereducated mining town where Oxycontin flows like wine and there's not alot of opportunity other than waiting 4 ur spot to open. Then you can talk about no poverty in the U.S.

"If the company is paying all of its own costs itself, that creates the incentive to reduce unnecessary costs."

Agreed. That's why we need a market economy, not a State/Corporation controlled economy.

"the US has functioned well without poverty"?... Singer has some excellent views, but that one is way off. The US uses poverty to its horrible advantage via exploitation of workers in other nations and, furthermore, poverty exists in the US... about 45 million out of 310 million are in poverty in the US.
