I think a certain level of poverty can be tolerated in a competitive capitalist system, but what is not morally acceptable is for those in poverty to be denied access to education, housing, food, and healthcare. These should be basic guarantees to all citizens, and amenities beyond that can be purchased thru whatever work you can sell.
