    The poorest of the poor cost society money but can never invest back into it. Bringing them to a level where they can pay taxes to invest in the services they are provided while also getting a better quality of life is such a basic concept that it’s just stupid that a modern society would oppose it!

      The purpose of having extremely poor people is to act as a warning to everyone else; “Stay in line or you’ll end up like them!”
