Nobody knows how to end poverty all we know is how to back stop some of the worst poverty. Send more money to the poor will not end poverty.
We feed poor kids in school because that way they get fed. SNAP or cash assistance does not mean that poor kids will get fed. I mean yes, I am sure it helps feed poor kids but it still depends on poor adults using the assistance to feed kids not spend it on something else or on food with poor nutrition.
Yes, there are some that are happy to keep the poor poor and probably actually wish the poor would just die. There are more who probably don't care much either way.
The existence of the poor makes everyone else feel just a little big richer. I wonder, if we raise up the poor a little or a lot won't they still be the poor. Isn't wealth relative?
