1. Tired phrase from the 80's.

Meant to make poor people feel even more useless.

[zonmoy]

2. we give the poor the supports they need to get

the education and jobs they need to no longer be poor.

[TimBean]

3. Education is the key

An intelligent people are much harder to pay poorly. We must educate all to have valuable skills.

4. It's not "the correct sentiment" at all.

It's a right-wing slogan with no substance. I can't tell you how much I despise that line.
