You are not supposed to say anything. You are supposed to put your brain in gear.
Taxation creates poverty.
I just put a proof of concept to a guy who lost 10 g this year and has dropped below the poverty line.
That is by using his usual tax rate.
I asked him to change the tax rate to where he was to land above the poverty line.
The fact that he can do so, at least on paper, shows that poverty is directly related to tax policies along with minimum wage laws.
Refute that proof of concept if you can.
You might note, when you can't, that that is why it ignores all your irrelevant add on reasons to poverty.

That's not a proof, that's an assertion. Assuming that your story is true, it still doesn't prove that taxes pushed that guy into poverty. If the loss of 10 000 pushed him that close to the poverty line, then it was the loss, not the tax on his remaining income, that dropped him into poverty.
