This anecdote highlights a frequently overlooked reality: even in difficult situations, our choices remain choices, even if they are constrained by circumstances. The idea that the rich must be "forced" to help the poor often stems from a simplistic view of economic dynamics.

Of course, some inequalities are real and problematic, but your argument also shows that employment, even if imperfect, is a means for workers to support themselves. The broader question is how to improve working conditions and promote more equitable opportunities rather than simply opposing the rich and the poor.
