The people living in poverty line aren't supposed to exist, the role that they play in the economy is that they are an indicator that there's inefficiency and incompetence when it comes to how the people that's in power run a country's economy. Poverty isn't something that any person should experience even if they are the lowest of the low in a society, anyone should have the access to basic needs like food and shelter. Making sure that everyone has a fair headstart makes for a competitive society that strives for greatness.

I understand what you are saying, the government is the one who has a big responsibility if the country has too many poor people and the economy is underdeveloped. But if poverty rates are only a handful in a country, the government cannot be blamed entirely. I mean, why don't you question, why the people around you live a full life while you are poor? Rich or poor depends on ourselves, if you are lazy and refuse to work, you cannot blame others for your poverty.

I usually don't blame anyone, because I know blaming won't make me better, I'll find a way out instead.
What the hell are you talking about? You're clearly saying that if there's a few poor people, we should just leave them in abject poverty. Didn't you read the last part of my post? I'll highlight it, see what part there did I talk about giving everything in silver platter what the poor people. Well, yes you don't blame for no reason but if someone is clearly not helping the people when it's their responsibility, will you just stand by and be neutral? Remember who's on the deepest part of hell?

Asking for accountability isn't blaming, people like you are brainwashed so when someone complains about something wrong in the system, you fight those who questions the system instead of joining them.

It is a mistake to think that farmers are poor people, they are even richer than office workers, business, if you live in my area. Just because they work in a struggle doesn't mean they don't have money. But society needs to have a gap between rich and poor, if everyone is equal, society will perish.
Yes, it's a mistake because you have a myopic perspective on things as do I in this context. I didn't generalize that all farmers are poor but that's where you went. It's a matter of perspective I guess, you haven't seen or heard of farmers drowning in debt from paying their fertilizers and having their crops underpaid by the markets that they have no choice but to sell there, or the farmers who got massacred because they asked for a piece of land that they've been promised if they work on it. So yeah, not all farmers are poor and not all farmers rich. Are you also saying that there shouldn't be equal opportunity for everyone at the start in the last part of the sentence? And yeah, what made you think that an equal structure in hierarchy will lead to a collapse? Is there an empirical evidence of that?
