It doesn't maintain anything. It redistributes money from the wealthy to the poor, but a large amount of that money gets lost on other things. Then, when it does reach the poor, it doesn't actually help them motivate their life - they become dependent on government funding.

I did not observe the effects you are describing, on the contrary.

Where can I read more about those affirmations ?

This one is just logical. As society continues to grow and expand, then there's more available to lift the poor out of poverty.

The other points I made arise primarily out of my experiences living in Germany and US in connection with my understandings. There might information somewhere, but I can't point to them now, sorry.

But I do highly recommend the following book for other very interesting social/political ideas: Urantia. (The social/political ideas start later in the book, not right at the start.)

Thank you.
