How much is enough?

How little in not enough? Jesus quoted the Old Testament when he said the "poor are with you always". Did he mean that people will always be poor? Can you really be poor if you have a house over your head,an (old) car in the driveway and your kids have the latest video game? Capitalism has always relied on "the poor" for labor. Currently this is supposedly the illegal aliens from Mexico and the like. What we need to look at is the economic justice in our society. Then decide if we can live with the status quo or keep trying to improve it.
