Yes.

Because there is a price that comes with those benefits. Eliminating poverty comes at the cost of opportunity and personal freedom. For most people (at least in America), the trade off is not worth it.

Yes, child poverty is insignificant when compared to, say, Defense.
When you sacrifice freedom for security you lose both and gain neither--Benjamin Franklin. Everyone on this topic is an idiot except nawbut.
