If there were a contest for the most misleading words used in politics, "poverty" should be one of the leading contenders for that title.
If government programs were confined to people who were genuinely poor in some meaningful sense, that would shrink the welfare state to a fraction of its current size.
People who say they want a government program because "I don't want to be a burden to my children" apparently think it is all right to be a burden to other people's children.
