That line of reasoning just ends up being “we NEED poor people because otherwise there would be inflation and I’d have to spend more.”
We don’t NEED poor people to exist… We NEED full time jobs that pay a living wage.
Just take a look on any job site, forget burger flippers, ANY JOB that doesn’t require a masters degree and like 15 years experience ALL offer disgusting wages that you NEED 2 people to live off of. 30-50k for everything under the sun… In NY that’s a joke, in rural bumfuck Egypt it would work, but the jobs aren’t there, they’re where the people are.
People now live better than ever before. People in the west live better than everywhere else. Define “poor” cause the people you are descriving are not poor at all. There will always be somebody better off than you are. You have to compare yourself with who you were yesterday no to who others are today
