I think poverty is a fine motivator, and we already have that.

As for Mr. Brand, he has as much credibility or less than I do. He's not lived in the real world for decades. Funny guy, not particularly credible though.

We have spent trillions of dollars on poverty and nothing has ever changed and it is only worse. When a mom is on wellfair and she has three kids who are on wellfair and then they have kids who are on wellfair then have kids on wellfair etc.. etc... the problem will only get worse. Not all the poor are lazy and just looking for a hand out but i'd guess 80% are and thats the problem. Back in Clintons day we passed wellfair reform but that bill has been torn apart little by little until its back to what we have today. Take the extension of unemployment. I'd guess 60 to 70% of those people are just milking the system until their benifits run out and they have to work. I've seen it with the people and friends I know.
