    [serious] because the very existence of the rich and poor means there are systems creating inequality.

    Should you kill the poor, the next poorest group will be sucked of their money and will become poor.

    The problem is not the poor, it’s the system that creates poverty.

      For sure. Or put a more direct way, someone needs to be making drinks at Starbucks when the rich-enough-to-survive go there, someone needs to be boiling noodles and chopping onions all day for when they want pasta at a restaurant, someone needs to stand in the sun next to hot asphalt and lay it so they can drive over it.

      And if it’s not the too-poor-to-live, it’s the next wrung down.
