Eradicating Poverty

A politician's commitment to fighting poverty takes a horrifyingly literal and satirical turn.

Politician: America, I want to show how committed I am to fighting poverty. I will not rest until I have eradicated poverty from within America's borders. That is why at precisely midnight, I am sending the military out to kill every poor person they can find.
