With ever-increasing social disparity, nothing can be done to alleviate poverty in any society. The difference between a 5% difference of a rich-poor gap is a greater number of ghettos.

..you brushed upon the 'costs of society' for incarceration et al. I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but there are numberical sociological studies linking economic benefits to the prison system in the U.S. In fact, i read upon one that attributed a 5% reduction in unemployment overall because of the jobs created from Crime - and i ain't talking about white collar.
One last point (and sorry for the redundancy), you suggested to ship off 'ghetto children' to boarding schools where i geuss they can learn how to function in society? Ummm if you knew anything about rehabilitation on any level, it is a far greater cost to society than anyother method.
