It might be easy to eliminate "poverty" as it is defined by some, but much harder to actually keep people able to live and prosper by their own hands work. The most often reasons for poverty are being jobless and homeless due to illnesses. A society that doesn't support their next of kin in times of trouble greatly missed what it means to be a society. A religion that is saying that it is always your own fault is a religion for and by demons. Realistically the dominant species among the dominant species has no interest in this like any other parasite or epiphyte.
