What are your ideas for solutions around helping our generation's effort to end extreme poverty in the world?

Poverty is relative to each individual situation. Let's say the global population suddenly has 3 meals a day. But some receive hamburgers and fish sticks while others are eating steak and lobster. Now we have a new class of those in poverty because they only get to eat hamburgers. So, where do you draw the line? Global socialism would be the only real way to end "extreme poverty" as you call it. So, are all of you willing to give your income to the gov't and let them provide for your food, shelter, health care? Instead of worrying about global poverty, instead focus on what you can do on a personal basis. Maybe work at a soup kitchen feeding homeless. Donate a little money to the local food pantry. To the person reading this answer, take a look at your surroundings. Yeah, I bet you have a PC maybe with high speed internet. A car outside, probably food in the fridge. Sure, let's say you worked hard for all that. Fine. Did you donate any of your time or a few dollars last year to help someone less fortunate? I'm not saying tithing of some sort is mandatory, but even a few extra dollars from millions of people would really help. Don't rely on the fed gov't to take care of the poor.
