In this model, does the current existence of people in poverty basically serve as a ballast that gives everyone else's "above poverty" money a higher, stable value? Would it ever be possible to not have poverty without making

Most humans seem to understand it, more or less. For the ones that don't, we generally have enough that do understand it that we're able to eventually stop the ones that don't. I think that's the best shot here as well.
