Which problem will you choose to solve?

[G_Besar]

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.

Rich people are not people who expect attention or pity from other people who are not richer than them or other people who are in the same caste position as them. So the two are not the same nor is it worth comparing, because in general everyone who gets help from other people in any case will always want to praise the person who helped him.

And that's regardless of whether the person is rich or not, because the person who gets the assistance will also not immediately see the person helping him in terms of the wealth owned by that person. So this also depends on the intention of the person who wants to provide assistance to those who need it and that person will also not wait for himself to be rich first so that he can help other people who are experiencing difficulties, such as the example of the poor.

Solving the problem of one rich person can save thousands of jobs so it depends on who is that rich person and what is their problem.

If you see more replies that say to solve the problems of more poor people then its not a wonder because that is the right thing from an ethical Point of View.

I do not think it is wise to assume that by solving a rich persons problem, that this will automatically transfer to the problem solving of the poor people. In most cases, it will make the rich person richer, while the poor stay poor. The rich have no qualms about exploiting the poor, even when it is  completely unnecessary. All they care about are their own egos and money. Look at Elon Musk. What exactly has he done to further humanity? Only empty promises and ego-stroking on social media.

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.

I would like to solve the problem of the rich rather than that of the poor. A rich man problem will be specific and once that problem is solved you will be paid for it and that ends it. But a poor man's problem might not be one, as you are solving one, another problem is evolving.

Even after solving the problem of the rich, if there is a fault anywhere, the rich will not panic, they will talk calmly about it. I am speaking from the experience of rendering services. I have rendered services to both the rich and the poor. After fixing a particular thing for the poor, and there is slight fault or error they will panic as if their money is gone or as if the world is ending that day  the rich whose problem is very limited does not stress the problem solver.

That will be the duty of the government but the rich people can also contribute to helping the poor. Maybe the rich people can help by giving them a job in one of their offices so that the poor people can earn money from their work. But it takes effort to get a job from a rich person because many people want to try it.

Assistance from the government can be in the form of jobs, social services, or something else that can help the poor people to survive. If their basic needs have been met, the poor people will try to make money by looking for work so they are no longer dependent on anyone. Poor people also want to be independent but unfortunately, they don't get the opportunity to do so.

And I agree with you that poor people need more attention than rich people because there are limitations to doing things like others. But poor people still don't give up on their situation and will keep fighting until they can succeed like other people.

Yes OG , it depends on who is that rich person and what their problem is. Rich people are already problem solvers, so helping a problem solver solve his problem would help him solve others problems more effectively. That's also going to make me an indirect problem solver hitting 2 birds with one stone.  
Now the thing is the explanation above is ethical only when the problem I'm actually solving is one that isn't of the self interest of the rich person, cause then I would just be making the rich richer...

Poor people only have the will to work and the energy used to work, whereas the rich have the money to pay all the workers. Solving the problems of the poor has no continuity with other parties, they do not have the ability financially to solve the problems of the people around them.

I prefer to solve the problems of the rich because they have the facilities to develop and can solve the problems of the poor. In general what we often encounter in everyday life rich people always provide services to poor people to make a living. So solving the problems of the rich is more effective than solving the problems of the poor because the rich can provide employment facilities to the poor, while the poor cannot afford to employ the rich.

[m2017]

A strange dilemma at first glance, but the choice is quite obvious when viewed from a pragmatic point of view. Any reasonable person will not choose between the problem of the rich or the problem of the poor, but will render his services to the side that pays more. Your wording was:

This topic is about solving problems as a service you render to make a living.

If the goal is to earn a living, then the specific choice will depend on the solvency of a few rich people and a lot of poor people.

I'm happy to see I'm with the majority here. Of course, rich problems have their problems, some of them quite serious and unlike the things poor people face. But rich people also have financial resources, which in our capitalist world means that they can use the money to solve whichever problems they have by buying things or services. The poor, however, often have problems that are hard to solve without resources, and they lack resources. I also don't think that poverty is fair overall, so I believe we should strive towards making it a problem of the past. So I'd help poor people because that can drastically change lives of some people in a way that wouldn't otherwise be accessible to them.

I know right? It's impossible for them to be called "rich" without the resources and connections that could solve their problems. Plus they have the knowledge that could solve their problem cause let's be honest most of the poor doesn't have the priviledge to study and learn due to they lack money so they don't have any idea for example in managing their financial problems. Cause if we would think of it, due to knowledge of some people who has the power are being used to take advantage on lower people by just simply being corrupt. And also poverty is most common problem of the economy worldwide, if we people have a lot of resources to provide for the rich how about the poor right? I just hate it when people thinks "if you born poor, you'll die poor" just help them bro, educate them where they could just change their life.

What problems do rich people have that they can't solve with money? Love? Can't decide which car to buy, and the garage only fits 12? How to avoid paying that 0.1% in taxes?

Well, a problem is always a problem, so when a rich person has a lot of money and he wants that to become less, you can take some of his money and give it to some poor people, here you will be solving two problems while actually solving one problem.  However, the rich usually don't have the problem of having a lot of money because the more they get the more they want, and they would never allow someone to give away their money to the poor at all.

Anyway, getting back to OP, I would definitely go with solving the problems of a lot of poor because I believe a rich doesn't really have problems as severe as the poor since they have a lot of money and there is barely a problem that money can't solve in today's world, so they can still manage somehow.

[GiftedMAN]

I will go with solving the problem of the poor: Regardless of how the society has changed the mindset of people in which they no longer remember where they are coming from, I think a poor man will always be grateful seeing that some one has solved a problem for him be it financial problems or material problems the poor man will appreciate it more but helping a rich man who has touched money for me I think they can't be grateful enough because they will always feel that since they have made money they can get anyone around to help them knowing that they can influence them with money or power. Secondly, solving the problem of one poor man you have helped to reduce the number of crimes by 1% in the society because most crimes are caused by poor people who are not employed so helping just one man can reduce the crime rate which the rich man can not commit because of their reputations.

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

In reality, resolving the issues of the wealthy isn't all that challenging. Even when it comes to health problems, every individual shares the same health concerns, as we're all human. What complicates solving the problems of the affluent is the emergence of our business orientations. Yet, the real complexity arises from our business mindset. The playing field in the business realm among the wealthy is a fierce one; numerous individuals vie for easy gains from the affluent.

Insurance companies are even willing to incur hefty marketing costs to capture the attention of the affluent. The competition in the realms of insurance, finance, and healthcare is notably intense. This stems from the fact that the market of the affluent is both dense and fiercely competitive. Consequently, it becomes a challenge for ordinary individuals to emerge victorious in this contest.

I think the problem of the rich could be getting more money which can never be as critical like that  of the poor. The poor have lot of problems that needs to be solved with money,  solving the problem of the poor for them to become financially okay is the most important to me. Taking people out from poverty brings peace and put to the end of illegal activities in an area, I think poverty is a virus that can be passed from parents to children,  if one is elevated from poverty it is not just beneficial to one person but different people.

[famososMuertos]

Well... if I solve my problems I help the rich and the poor. Anyway, each to their own, I just saw a comment from a billionaire who said that if the rich cared more about the effectiveness of their money, many problems that affect less favored people would be solved.

But on the other side, the poor, if they do not care about resolving their issues, are not going to get solutions,  who has money to help does not mean that they will get you out of the economic hole where you are, anyway! in both cases as I said it, take care of yours business, then, correctly that helps the collective without distinction of social class.

The rich don't even have a problem but the poor have more problem that we can imagine. Those that are rich are making more money everytime and there problem is to make more money while the poor are left aside to perish if they don't have money to pay for bulls and live a better lifestyle. I don't even think the rich have problem except making more money adding it to there portfolio to become richer with competition. I will rather solve the problem of a poor man than trying to satisfy the rich to make few make more money.

Meta spent $43 million on Mark Zuckerberg's personal security in the past three years. This includes the cost of bodyguards, security cameras, and other security measures, according to a report by The New York Post.

I will choose to solve the problem of the rich. I will develop modern security systems for the rich. I see that they spend so much money their security in a year. Even if I can, I would create a drone that go with them wherever go. Another problem which the rich have is that they do not know how to spend their money. Most spend it on materialist stuff that do not give them happiness. Most of them are looking for happiness and this is one of the problems of the rich too that I would solve using tech and a holistic human-centered approach.

Well, when you think about the poor and the means by which you could aid them, your moved by compassion to make this choices but, in the course of making a survival as well and not get to hurt anyone by doing something illegal, I’ll probably pick the poor still.
Yeah, the rich might yield me some quick cash, probably stress me less but then,
In helping the poor, you gain more than the money you would generate from the service but, respect and never forget that some of those guys might turn out to be rich in future. Some of those we call rich today actually walked their way up the stairs from little and bottom beginnings.

Life isn’t all about profit, not saying you shouldn’t get what you could get but in the bid that you could get satisfaction and continuity from helping those with less, you would be great with your life as well. Humanity needs to be a part of your approach towards duty.

Im poor now and I do have a bunch of problems hahaha and one of many is financial, however I vote to fix the rich for fun  I mean what is the problem of the rich people if they are rich and can buy anything they can actually help the poor and the cycle keep goes on and on but one thing for sure there will be always the rich and poor in anywhere it is unstoppable basically this is the life is :')

That is really innovative imagination, which is probably happening soon, but to conclude, some rich people or most of the rich people want a really comfortable life. What I mean is that if they can automate opening the door for them, they will do it because of the comfort; it is not lazy; it is just saving time. Like you said, if they can save time in traveling, then for sure they will buy it. That is what most of those rich people want; they don't think about how expensive it is as long as it benefits them.

[lienfaye]

I will choose to solve the problem of rich people. Because they're only few, saves my time while generating more profit. Sometimes it's wise to choose what's more beneficial because of this, let's say these rich people are businessmen owning businesses/companies that hired poor people. If they have problem and unable to attend to their position, this can affect their business since the boss is not doing fine. It can result to closing their companies (worse case) and those people under this company (the poor) will lost their job.

On the other side, the usual problem of poor is money, food on the table and job. Rich people are the ones who can provide job for the poor, so by helping the rich, you also help the poor, though not directly.
