Helping the poor, the truly poor, is a much worthier goal than merely narrowing inequalities. If the rich get poorer thanks to high taxation, some people may feel pleased but few are better off. If the poor get richer, however, the whole country will benefit. Focusing resources and policy on poverty would be worthwhile simply on humanitarian grounds. But also, the disadvantages of growing up in extreme poverty pose a challenge to a belief in equality of opportunity. And helping the underclass rejoin society is in the interests of all.
The main task is for governments to provide a proper welfare safety net, to provide and protect public education in the poorest areas, to provide remedial training and schooling, and to provide adequate incentives to help the poor get back into ( or just get into) work through which they can support themselves. Yet today’s many rich individuals can also play a role.
