    Even in developing countries, governments do their best to provide free services for those in dire poverty, especially those considered “poorest of the poor”.

      The poorest of the poor cost society money but can never invest back into it. Bringing them to a level where they can pay taxes to invest in the services they are provided while also getting a better quality of life is such a basic concept that it’s just stupid that a modern society would oppose it!

        The purpose of having extremely poor people is to act as a warning to everyone else; “Stay in line or you’ll end up like them!”
