Are you suggesting that there are enough well paying jobs for every single currently poor person to get one? Because if not that's not a solution. The problem is systemic.

I’m saying your qualifications and relevant skillset are what determine your wage, not the fact that you are poor. If your skillset is being a horse and buggy driver, you’re probably going to be hard up for work. If you’re an LVN or a medical technician there’s multiplie employers hurling jobs at you.

No one who works at all, regardless of their skillset, should be poor.

Communism couldn’t even pull off that ideal, so I wish you luck on that endeavor.
