The Reason for Poverty

The following is an adaption to suit Australia of a satirical response originally written by someone in response to a video about poverty in America:

"The reason that we have poverty in Australia is because wealthy Coalition supporters (not wealthy Labor and Green supporters) own a large house and drive a nice car. If only we could take that large house and nice car away from the wealthy Coalition supporter (not wealthy Labor and Green supporters) then somehow the poor people will finally be able to prosper. Almost overnight. Like pushing a button.

The poverty in this country has nothing to do with the government killing our industries in the name of really showing those rich people. It has nothing to do with regulating businesses out of the country. It has nothing to do with laying off people due to the artificial inflation of labor costs via unions. And it has nothing to do with managing a poor education system that has the most money in the world flowing into it and the worst results. It's Woolworths fault. It's BP's fault. If only we could force Coles and BP to go out of business then there wouldn't be any poor people."
