Best Answer

The fundamental reason to get rid of poverty (to the extent that it may be possible to get rid of poverty, which is a very difficult thing to do) is that we feel compassion for our fellow human beings and we do not want them to suffer from the many ills that poverty brings, which include bad diet, bad housing, bad education, and a bad standard of living in general. From a more selfish viewpoint, it is also true that poor people are unhappy people, and unhappy people may wind up joining violent revolutionary movements and killing you (or even if they do not go to that extreme, they may find ways to take out their frustration on you).
