1. Children of poor people should be assigned to wealthier people

The problem is that there are so many poor people who can't provide for their children, and so many wealthier people who are willing to raise them.

Clearly we need a "highest bidder" system where children can be relieved of poverty by assigning them to adoptive parents with a greater ability to take care of their material needs.
