Which problem will you choose to solve?

[South Park]

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.

Another problem with that kind of question is that it makes it seem as if people can just decide to solve those problems and then it will simply happen, there are very powerful reasons why we have been unable to solve the problem of poverty all around the world and at all points in history, this tell us this problem is not one that can be solved by a single person and the will to do it, as it is a very complex problem and its magnitude also makes it almost impossible to dive into it with any confidence.

The poor often have a chance to become rich and the rich often have a chance to become poor. The poor evoke feelings of compassion and the rich evoke feelings of envy and contempt. So - if you consider the issues of karma - the rich have more problems because many people curse them. And it is very difficult, being rich, to remain a man with a capital letter. A poor man has more chance of becoming rich than a rich man who has become poor

 It's quite easy to solve the problem of the poor than the rich. At least when you create jobs or provide a means of putting food on their table, paying bills and being somewhat independent, you have helped greatly in affecting their lives. But for the rich? You'd have to take care of so many things; and where will you want to start from?
Even though the poor can help solve some of the problems of the rich  in some areas like; Cook, chauffeur,gardener and the so many services they can render, there's still a yawning gap between them.

Totally easy specially if you do have the money which you could really be able to move on and do all sorts of things which we do know that in every step we do make it does really involved money and solving out issues or
problems with those rich people then it would be definitely be pertaining into those wealth handling or business problems which it would really be that not as heavy with  those poor peoples problems on which it would really be pertaining about on how make themselves rich and this would be particularly finding ways on how to make themselves to be one and this would really be a challenged if you are really that offering the service.
Well when it comes on being ethical then people might be sticking into that poor problems which they would really be tending to help out to those who are really that in need but for sure this wont really be an
easy thing to deal with.

But this condition will not be easy to realise.
The current condition is too troubled by various kinds of doubts about the poor because maybe this kind of thing is not found in other countries but in the country where I live, jobs are also seen from qualifications and strata whether they are in the caste of rich, middle or poor people by measuring the standard of education and experience they have.

Most poor people will most likely only be able to work in jobs that are not even that decent in terms of salary because of the qualification issue itself which makes it like a differentiator where rich people who already have a plus in terms of education will get a more decent job than poor people who sometimes won't even get the same opportunity because they are not sure whether they are capable or not because they don't qualify.

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)

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.

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.

The underlying aspect of this is that the rich has a multi choice from where to source for solutions to his problem using his money but the poor is with no choice from where his solution can come from and that's what makes it of a necessity to give help more to the poor when we are faced with the opportunity. The rich can help themself but the poor can because he doesn't have the wherewithall to do so.
Sarcastically speaking, the funny thing is that the problem of the poor is not always a big problem to solve , very minimal that with little funds solution will be made available unlike to the rich (big-man big-problem) their problems are not usually money related problems, and that's what makes the solutions to most of their problems difficult to meet.

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.

The word "Problem" is broad and can mean different thing to different persons at a given period, just as it could mean financial for those in needs, health challenge for the sick and emotional needs for those in need of advice. But on the contrary, if i'm to be in such a position to help, i will go for the poor, simply because they have no one to help them, and by doing so will really mean alot to the poor.

If life was to be fair to people and I have a way to turn things around, I will make sure individual never suffer to make a living, my decision and willingness to help will not stop the riches from amassing their wealth but I will make sure the poor breathe and have access to good health, well fed with good food and basic amenities, this will be  a standard practice for the world until we have a new place called another world but I will make sure the world eradicate poverty free where poverty will be a discussion of the past like the way we had slavery in the 70s and 80s.

I will also change the financial system of the government, that thing is not working, only favour the people around in power and such financial system is nothing but garbage, the inflation they created is killing an average person with low purchasing power of their fiats., I will kill that idea and make sure to have a standard currency that will be generally accept as world reserve currency, this is going to be my change to the world if and if the opportunity is available.

What are those common rich people problem which it isnt including about money? Knowing that they would be mainly be thinking or getting involved with business related problems.
Are you pertaining about lovelife? health? relationship problems? Cant able to have a child?. These are personal things but we know that everything in life cant really be balance. Yes, you do have the money but you cant
have everything but the good thing on being rich is that you are really that able to solve out problems as long you do have the money since there's something you could really be able to make use of. Unlike when you are poor then the first priority you do have in mind is on how to make your life way more better in terms of money and finances. Therefore, if i were to choose on which one i would really be taking into in speaking about
problems in between then i would go for the poor ones, usually this would be speaking about changing their lives in terms of finances and those kind of development which it isnt really just that much hard
and would really be happy on helping someone on whose really in need or some sort of help i would say.

Solving the problem of the poor should be a good decision than trying to solve the problem of some rich people who already have money.
The poor are the people that keep suffering from a harsh government policies and the rich has nothing to do lose since they have businesses that keep giving them money employing people to work for them to earn more profits. The poor need aids to live a better lifestyle than depending on the wrong sources for money or jobs that will not help them to be financially stable.

Yes, you are absolutely right, I also feel that the context of the sentence "problem" is still too general and does not have a specific purpose or a specific meaning. In fact, both rich people and poor people of course still need someone's help. But I think the percentage level of poor people is certainly far more in need of help than rich people because of their "powerlessness".
Rich people certainly have the perception that it will be more effective and efficient to use the services of experts to solve a problem they are facing, in contrast to the poor who do not have the capacity to use the services of experts to deal with the problems they are experiencing.
In my opinion, helping the poor people may indeed feel more meaningful when it comes to their "powerlessness" problem. But it won't be easy and probably won't fully help them completely if we also don't have the capacity to help them with their "problems".

Playing the devil's advocate, what if solving the problem of the rich benefits the poor? As the problem is not specified and explained by OP, let's assume that it is a big financial problem. More often than not, financial problems of the rich lead to companies closing which then leads to workers losing their jobs, creating bigger problems for the poor. Hence, solving this specific problem of the rich helps and maintain a good place for the poor.

Yes, I totally agree with you if you choose to help solve the problems of the poor. It's true that very few people will help him if it's the poor who get the problem, of course people will let it go, as you said the poor continue to suffer with government policies and that's true. I see that most poor people find it difficult to make money so they can't fulfill a decent life for them, very different from the rich who can easily run their business and there are some entrepreneurs who do not pay taxes so they can reduce state revenues.

Yeah, very complex reason. And I think that even with these billionaires or trillionaires able to solve the world's hunger and poverty, it just can't happen. While there are people who deals with poverty, there's also the money that flows within remaining on this problem and that's why they're stopping any possible solution that's being brought to raise awareness or deal with poverty or any problem that results with that. It's hard to make a solution when you're not committed on it and if you are but the major motivator is money.

[Sim_card]

Personally, solving the problem of the poor will be the best because they will never look down on you and they will bless and pray for you. The rich feels that the moment you have been paid for a service rendered to them, they owe you nothing and that is the end. A poor man will never forget and if he can sing your praises. A poor man needs more attention than a rich man because they are vulnerable, unlike the rich man that can get alternatives.

Not all of them are like that, that is included in the personal person who gives gratitude, but indeed most of the poor and rich people have a different mindset about this, but I can only emphasize that it does not include everything.
But the logical reason when we choose to help the poor is their limitations which are different from the rich, people can do it and there will even be many people who will solve their problems whether it's with the money they have or not, while the poor don't have that power.

Yeah, very complex reason. And I think that even with these billionaires or trillionaires able to solve the world's hunger and poverty, it just can't happen.

What is happening in the world right now is like that, no matter how much people have money they will still look for it again for more, between greed and fear of running out, it all goes back to today's humans who never feel enough so don't expect them to let wealth possessed to overcome this, there are actually some of them that are the cause of poverty.

[tjtonmoy]

I choose "solve the problem of the poor". Most likely, the problem of the poor is hunger. If you get feed 3 times a day 365 for the rest of your life, then all you can focus on is your dream. Let's just say, no matter what, you will get food. Doesn't matter if you work or not! If that's the case, then other problems could be solved easily because you can focus on them better. And when those are solved, you can focus on dreams. And that's the definition of happiness. Isn't it?

And if that happens, maybe poor people can become rich or successful. Well, being rich or successful doesn't matter when you are happy. Learning to be happy with what you have is the best way to live. Not having problems being poor is going to be the best.

That's human nature, the rich become richer while the mindset of the people who are poor is stuck until they realize that it won't move their lives if they don't do something.

there are actually some of them that are the cause of poverty.

I agree that there are some of them that do things that make the people can't go out of poverty. Even in our country, there are oligarchs that have solved problems but then, they're also the reason why many can't get out of poverty.

Well, being rich or successful doesn't matter when you are happy. Learning to be happy with what you have is the best way to live. Not having problems being poor is going to be the best.

While I do agree with what you've said, it's just we have to choose on which things we'll be happy. Poor or rich, we've got our own definition and ways of being happy. But I'd rather be the person who's happy but not problematic financially.

Well solving a problem in this case depends on the scenario and relevance  and urgency of the problem but whatever the case might be, most times everyone will  want to solve the problem of the rich because they have a believe that, there might be some sort of rewards attached to it and there are always someone to reward and recognize  their efforts but reverse is the case with helping a poor person because in most cases it always believed that is an effort without any reward and I've seen videos mostly on Facebook  where people give out relief materials to people in either cash or other forms on camera and you should know that those kind of giving also have their intentions.

[Sexylizzy2813]

For me I'll choose to solve the problems of the poor than the rich because to me I don't see the problems of the rich as something to worry about, they (the rich) do know how to get in and out of their problems but the poor don't.
By solving the problems of the poor, I can gain more by doing so, imagine I help out the poor, by giving them shelter food clothes and everything they need to stay alive and comfortable, I can as well employ them to work for me in return as a businessman, with that alone I think I have solved their problems and also gain more because the more man power I get to expand my business the more money I get to cover for what I spent on them, is a 50/50 thing.
