But why isn’t poverty not solved ?

• The video here talks a very controversial topic about why we don’t solve poverty although we know how to do it ,it is common concept by man that that these people need more money from other to be able to survive and in the videos ,it talks about how by having people just shares their incomes and we would have no such thing as poverty around but with this communism would be created and democracy and equality would be taken away as the cost for no poverty ,is that really worth it ?
