Work Support Programs Reduce Poverty

Please read the following article about Work Support Programs


This article explains the correlation between work and a person's economic status. By creating programs that promote the security of people's job, the chances are that there would be fewer low wages. If people have enough money to provide for their basic needs, mainly food, poverty would be reduced.
Although many people complain about having to pay taxes with their hard-earned money, these taxes are what help support numerous families living in poverty around the world. If people earn enough money to support themselves, pay their mortgage, rent, and have money left over so that they can eat. An organization called Bread for the World supports the protection of tax credits that help low income families to have food on their plates. It is great to see that programs like the Earned Income Tax Credit work to protect the needs of other groups in society that many view as helpless. 
 By using taxes to support those living in poverty, not only does the poverty rate go down, but the child hunger becomes less prevalent. This article identifies the undeniable correlation between poverty and hunger. Lower income means less food.
