Which problem will you choose to solve?

I came across this tweet, so the reference is the username. I thought it was a topic worth bringing up for discussion to see the choice that will be made by forum members. This topic is about solving problems as a service you render to make a living. Which of the problems will you prefer to solve as a service you render? the problems of the poor? or the problems of the rich? (support your choice with a reason)

I posted this here because it relates to choices we make concerning how we want our finance to be, if this is a wrong place and the topic fits better in "politics and society", I will be happy to move it there.

Since this is an economic board, so I assume what you mean by problem is economic problems. So then, rich people have money and I think half (or even more) of their economic problem is solved, that's why I would choose to solve poor's people problem because I think it's more urgent.

If I want to talk about problem solving,

Don't overestimate yourself. What you think you can decide for a rich person means that anyone can do it, and therefore it is not a problem for a rich person.
Look at Elon Musk; he always has a "headache" about something, then he needs a flight to the moon, and then he urgently needs to rename Twitter, something that is already working in principle. Are you able to solve his problems? I doubt. He makes them every morning.
But if we talk about the poor, then many of them will not be able to live in wealth, even if they are helped with money. They have their own views on life, and there are a lot of poor people who simply do not want to live better. Just talking about desire is not enough; there are many examples in history of how guys from poor families achieved success on their own.
Therefore, the poor and the rich are the normal balance of the world; they were and will be. As it is impossible to solve all the problems of the rich. Likewise, one cannot help eradicate poverty.
Buddhists would probably call it karma.

The more you choose to help the rich especially with a good heart for others, we can see that it can be more helpful people than poor people. It is also the beauty of the rich who are always positive even when they are losing because they always look at the future.

And when we put the poor people first, the person who helps themselves will also be difficult and have trouble with these people because we can see the negative mindsets and hear what they have to say.

I will go out and support the poor five times more than I will think about supporting the rich first. This life is about uplifting others who are desperately in need, which I believe the wealthy have no trouble doing because they've already developed a network that can always intercede for them should things start to collapse.

The underprivileged always need someone to lift them up and help them realise their full potential. It is not always necessary to give people money, but rather to place them in an environment where they can be productive. Instead of providing them fish to eat, teach them how to catch fish so they can be self-dependent the next time.

I am very interested in your choice and how to solve your problem, if rich people get a problem, of course they will find it easier to deal with it on their own because they can easily find solutions and of course there are many people closest to them who will help them, very different from poor people when they face a problem they will try to solve it themselves and very few people who will help.

You can make a profit from servicing the needs of any segment or class of the society. There are more poor people in the world so your service can reach out to many people. Even if the profit is less, their high population will increase the profit. The rich might offer profit but they are few.

Which problem will you choose to solve?

Both!!
Solving the problems of the rich will give me the privilege of meeting the needs of the poor. I don't see business as a means of profit-making only. It could also be a means of income distribution or assisting your community.

Neither.

The real problem to solve is the problem that created the poor and the rich in first place. So the fundamental economical, social and other issues that led to the class gap in first place needs to be solved so that we no longer have anything called "the poor" that need their problems solved.

Otherwise we end up with examples like United States where the gap is so massive that there are only a tiny 1% that are categorized as ultra rich and the rest of the 99% of the population are categorized as poor and lower class with nary a middle class in sight.

Hahaha! Classic response, but capitalists don't think this way. Their cardinal intention is to make a profit from business regardless of the consequences. They don't care about promoting equality or equitable distribution of scarce resources. It is a shame that the middle class is gradually disappearing from society because of the widening gap between the poor and the rich.

Easy. I will solve the problem of the poor. If I solve the problem of the poor have technically solved the problem of the rich. Statistically, most of the people in prison are poor people. Their economic status and the environment they grew up in played a huge role. If I get the poor jobs and get them employed, get them off the streets, get them off gangs, get them to go to school and acquire an education or a skill, get them to have a mindset reorientation then I have solved the problem of the rich which is security. Once the crime rate and insecurity is down the problem of the rich is solved already.

[Plaguedeath]

In this world there's always a winner and loser, it means even you're want to solve a problem of poor people, there's always a new problem and you can't fix it. It's true there are many people can upgrade their level from poor to rich or poor to middle, but there are a lot people are still stay in poor. I'd choose to fix rich people problem because it's either require very high technical skill or something related with relationship.

Fascinatingly, both the wealthy and the less fortunate do grapple with their own sets of challenges. And whoever possesses solutions for their predicaments is essentially engaged in a business endeavor.

Alright, it's a conviction that most would prefer dealing with the affluent, as they tend to yield greater benefits in terms of financial gain. The work becomes streamlined, yet the income skyrockets. At first glance, I'd even buy into this illusion as a business objective.

However, after some time, I revert to contemplating that the wealthy don't always bring advantages to the world. Some are mirrors of greed and hubris. Associating with them doesn't necessarily illuminate the true essence of friendship. It might sound a touch naive, but aiding the less fortunate in resolving their dilemmas could possess a more compelling allure.

Finding fulfillment in the struggle itself and becoming a benefactor to those in greater need holds more value than relentlessly chasing money to the grave.

As far as I know there are many things that must be resolved between the rich and the poor, the two elements of society have various things that must be resolved, whether the way of thinking, economic, social, life and so on.

If we talk about the gap here for problems that must be solved from an economic perspective, of course the first thing that must be solved is the rich.

It is adjusted to the facts below, as I have read.

The main key to efforts to overcome socio-economic disparities is to provide access for every community to take advantage of existing social facilities, as well as provide equal opportunities for all people to develop and improve their economy.

The bottom line: to achieve inequality in terms of the economy and overcome it, of course the government must participate and be responsible for the rich, so that it creates.

Social inequality does not only occur in the economic sector, but also in the fields of education, technology, health, and the quality of human resources.

By overcoming the rich, automatically the poor will have a positive impact in solving the problems that exist in the lives of the economically rich.

I will choose to solve my own problem.  Why bother solving other people's problems when we ourselves have problems?  It is best to focus on personal growth and when all is perfectly done, that is the time to focus on other problem.

It is better to be self-sufficient than the person who solves other people's problems while depending on others to meet our needs.

Poor people have the capability, what missing from them is the opportunity, and this opportunity can only be given by the government who has the funds and the power to implement things.  I will think of this thing when I become a government official because it hurt more when the help is half-baked.

Agree with this statement! why do we take care of others while our own finances have not been addressed, we even often have problems even this will not be separated from financial problems.
Make yourself prosperous if you are already established then help others to give what you can.

YES only the government can solve this problem about the rich and the poor we can't do enough while the government has the responsibility for it with the policies it makes, remember it's too complicated to be an official even if you are sick of the uneven distribution.

[Blowon]

what should be solved from the problem of rich people, they are capable enough in many ways, why should we help someone who is basically capable in financial terms. if it's poor people, even they only think about how to eat today or tomorrow, they don't think about how they will enjoy their life. I think it's more appropriate to help the poor first.

What you said is not wrong at all, but I was thinking about something like this. If we solve the problems of the rich first, will it be able to help the poor? Especially since they have the financial ability which is arguably one of the problems of the poor.
And if we help the poor first, it's not likely to help the rich much. Let's say we are in a situation that is closely related to financial problems here.

Now if in a situation like this then I would strongly consider that. I mean when they (the rich) when the problem is over can help for the poor, then I would do that first.

[Cryptomultiplier]

For me, solving the problem of the poor or the rich has to come with a catch.

To solve the problem of the poor could just be as simple as providing a good medium to educate them, as well as opening their eyes to new ways of doing things. The reward may come in form of verbal gratitude and if it's something they had to pay so little or next to nothing to get inorder to live better, as compared to other costly ones, you have simply won their hearts for a lifetime.

To solve the problem of the rich however, could be same scenario as I highlighted in my second stanza, but it might be rewarding more in terms of cash, favors, and appointments. Still, it may not be fulfilling as being an angel to someone poor and undeserving.

Both the rich and the poor have their own problems. If it will provide a benefit to the society when we solve a rich person's problem, I can prefer it. The factor that determines the choice I will make is about whether it will benefit the society or not.

But we have some social values. In general, efforts are made to solve the problems of the poor. Because the poor may not have enough opportunities to solve their own problems. If solving a poor person's problem will benefit society, I will.

As a preference, I would like to solve the problems of both parties, but I prefer the one that will provide the most social benefit.

The rich have become rich because most of them are problem solvers. While being rich, the next level of having problems is likely about the management of their wealth which is easy IMHO.
While the poor, there are tons of problems that people are dealing with every day. It looks easy but it's not when the ratio of rich and poor isn't par at all.
We admit it or not, there are poorer than rich people, and problems that are being dealt with by most of them can't be tackled easily. Putting this on a serious note, I've been there and still trying to survive. Before helping the poor, I want to help myself first.

That is what social entrepreneurs do, they look for a particular problem and invest a lot of ideas in it, take Elon, for instance, coming up with Tesla an electric car to not only help in reducing cars that use fuel but also to reduce emissions very smart move, just charge and drive, that is the logic I see rich people do they search for a problem and the solving the problem comes with a lot of money, there are still a lot of problems out there that needs a solution, look at the cell phone today it has reduced sending of letters and has made communication easy, we are benefiting from peoples solving a problem, surviving these days is not easy, but we just have to keep supporting one another.

That's true and they keep on coming. But those that are already on the top of the chain, they've got more opportunities and easier now to introduce any product or invention they create and that's how it's easy for them to solve more problems. While we don't like Elon pertaining to the crypto related matters but, can't deny that he's done a lot not just for his employees but also for the world. I just hope that he's really caring for it and profit is just the 2nd matter.

Those problems which can be solved with money can be solved but there are lots of problems which are unable to solved even with huge money in hands. There are problems in life of everyone no matter he is rich or poor but problems comes.

In my opinion with wealthy people there are always a problem of health which cannot be always solved with money but in a case of poor people they have one most common problem which is money so most of their problems can be solved with the help of money.

I think solving a problem of rich people is more difficult as Compared to poor people because even with lots of money the wealthy people cannot solved their problems and it is reality that as more money comes more problems arises therefore poor people will be more satisfied than rich one

Both Rich and poor people have problems and ethically we need to solve them for both but if I have to choose one I will solve the problem of poor people. There is reason behind it. If a rich person has a problem then he has at least the resources to fix it like the use of money, its references and its power, etc. But on the other side, If a poor person has a problem he does not have enough resources to solve it and in my view, this is the need of humanity to help the poor. The poor people have not only food and shelter issues but have some serious problems that are directly related to society. The poor people have many issues like divorce and family conflict, They have many health issues and their children grew up in poverty and are not educated which may lead to street crimes. These are some problems that make society awful that directly affect the rich person also. No doubt problems are a problem and no matter who has it whether it's a rich person or poor but poor people need it more

Solving the problem of the rich individual means you'll get profits quickly as the rich will be willing to pay big for their problem to be solevd. One problem of the rich is security because they alway feel insecure therefore if you start up a personal security agency you can charge them big. The poor individuals mightn't have big money to pay you but you can use the advantage of their numbers therefore if you get millions of poor people to use the service you're offering, you'll get rich.

A greater number of people are more likely to solve the  problem of the rich compared to those ready and willing to solve the problems of the poor. Thy are solving the problem of the rich because of the reward that comes with it, the motive of the help is reward believing that the reward can come in form of money, promotion, favour etc.

But there's much of an economic benefits to the state when an individual direct his services to helping the poor. It reduces the financial burden of social welfare on government in catering for those poor and less privileged when private individuals intervenes in giving them help by solving a few of their needs.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Maybe we should say it this way that both the rich and the poor do have problems, when the rich gets a problem, they have higher chances of getting it solved because they have money to an extent to push the problem to being solved, while when the poor has a problem, they lack money as a financial aid to get most of their challenges solved, which means it's better to use the opportunity in solving what money can first solve with the poor ones then the rich get other priority.

To be honest, I genuinely feel happy solving or even helping solve the problem of the poor than rich people. Rich people have their funds, resources and assets to solve any issues and hardships. They could pay for people to fix their problems while poor people mostly rely on the government and people who are able to lend them a hand. Poor people need help but the government only provide a temporary assistance. They deserve a long term help to survive and live life not just a temporary food on the table.
Both need help but rich people are more able to solve their without getting help from anyone.
