This paper explores the idea that poverty is itself persistent and that poverty is part of the natural order. Contemporary American writers regularly take society to task over the fact that the US poverty rate has been essentially the same for forty years, despite significant increases in the per capita domestic product. Among the most important causes of why poor people often stay poor are five behaviors or, better, non-behaviors: not working, not finishing school, not saving for a rainy day, not moderating alcohol consumption, and not living within the law. Poor people need money the most. If marginal utility is increasing at low levels of consumption, then typical people whose consumption is very low will derive very little utility from a bit more consumption. The author continues that poverty is a self-sustaining condition not a self-eliminating one, therefore poverty is natural. Natural does not mean it is ineradicable because there are constructive options and poverty reducing behaviors. It is important to stop those who are not really poor but who are not suffering material shortages and just underreport income. For the motivation of the participants will be reduced and there will be public mistrust for the system. To help the very low income, the author proposed supplementing the wages. This will entice those working to continue to work and also to encourage those not working to get a job.
