It never ceases to amaze me how liberals self-righteously invoke "the poor" in order to rob all of us of our hard-earned wages when they have no intention of making things easier for the truly needy. The merchants of racism (i.e., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) come to mind, as well as any liberal politician during election time.
If they ever "solved" the problem of poverty these crafty people would have to find an honest way to make a living.
Sadly, this is not a "new" problem:
"Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
"Mary therefore took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
"But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said, 'Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to poor people?' Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.
"Jesus therefore said, "Let her alone, in order that she may keep it for the day of My burial. For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have Me." (John 12:1-8)
