That's the excuse liberals make. It's a political game. They don't have any reason why they would actually want to do anything about poverty. If poverty went away, they would lose an important political demographic that votes for them.
In order for them to "fix" poverty, they need to control America's wealth though taxes or other means like socialism. Then they can use this wealth to buy political capital in the form of earmarks and such. The taxpayers get stuck with a lot of debts. Their political allies get a steady stream of the taxpayers money. The poor stays poor.
Liberals don't hate money. They love spending other people's money. Money is only evil if they don't control it or don't get a piece of it.
They do the same scam with racism.
