How to Solve Poverty

This script delves into the concept of regressive taxes, elucidating how they disproportionately burden lower-income individuals by taking a larger share of their income compared to higher earners. It explores the adverse effects of such a tax system, including its contribution to poverty by leaving less disposable income for essential needs and limiting funds for social programs. The discussion also covers the importance of addressing regressive taxes to foster a fairer tax system, stimulate economic growth, and prevent social unrest. Solutions such as implementing progressive taxes, targeted tax credits, and strengthening social safety nets are proposed. The video concludes by advising students passionate about solving this issue to study tax policy, economic modeling, and public policy analysis at Plato University.
