I think your premise is wrong. Poverty is defined by the government. For example 100 years ago, if you had shelter, food, and clothing no one would say you were in poverty. Today people who not only have the above but also, TV's, cars, cell phones, DVD players, free medical care, free education, air-conditioned places to live, etc, etc, can be considered living in poverty.

Furthermore, the planet cannot sustain billions of people for an extended period of time. We will run out of resources far sooner than we can advance the resources of other planets and extra-planetary bodies. If we continue to inflate at the current rate, future generations will be digging in garbage dumps as if they are gold mines. When they run out of garbage to mine, future generations will have nothing left at all and that will be the end of civilization, of our hard work, and of the achievements of all the enlightened minds of past generations of life.
All the hard work and toil we have exerted will have been for nothing. Every time a poor person has a child she or he has given birth to new poverty, pure and simple. The welfare system must be eliminated at all cost. This seems directly opposed to the ideals of individual liberty, however, liberty without responsibility is anarchy and chaos. So, until such time when we have a society worthy of liberty, capable and willing to be responsible for their actions and well being, if responsibility is ignored it will have to be imposed. Liberty is not for the animals or the savages as such will just trample it under foot. Entire article

I am not sure I agree that it is going to be that bad. I think people can change.
