Poverty is not an objectively established value of assets and income for a person. It is subjective. Someone or some government body or think-tank says "poverty line in the United States is X dollars income per annum per person and Y dollars assets per person." This is how it's done.
How do you eliminate poverty? By decreasing X and Y to sufficiently low amounts so no person qualifies.
