Easy. I will solve the problem of the poor. If I solve the problem of the poor have technically solved the problem of the rich. Statistically, most of the people in prison are poor people. Their economic status and the environment they grew up in played a huge role. If I get the poor jobs and get them employed, get them off the streets, get them off gangs, get them to go to school and acquire an education or a skill, get them to have a mindset reorientation then I have solved the problem of the rich which is security. Once the crime rate and insecurity is down the problem of the rich is solved already.

You can make a profit from servicing the needs of any segment or class of the society. There are more poor people in the world so your service can reach out to many people. Even if the profit is less, their high population will increase the profit. The rich might offer profit but they are few.
Neither.
The real problem to solve is the problem that created the poor and the rich in first place. So the fundamental economical, social and other issues that led to the class gap in first place needs to be solved so that we no longer have anything called "the poor" that need their problems solved.
Otherwise we end up with examples like United States where the gap is so massive that there are only a tiny 1% that are categorized as ultra rich and the rest of the 99% of the population are categorized as poor and lower class with nary a middle class in sight.

Hahaha! Classic response, but capitalists don't think this way. Their cardinal intention is to make a profit from business regardless of the consequences. They don't care about promoting equality or equitable distribution of scarce resources. It is a shame that the middle class is gradually disappearing from society because of the widening gap between the poor and the rich.
I will go out and support the poor five times more than I will think about supporting the rich first. This life is about uplifting others who are desperately in need, which I believe the wealthy have no trouble doing because they've already developed a network that can always intercede for them should things start to collapse.
The underprivileged always need someone to lift them up and help them realise their full potential. It is not always necessary to give people money, but rather to place them in an environment where they can be productive. Instead of providing them fish to eat, teach them how to catch fish so they can be self-dependent the next time.
I am very interested in your choice and how to solve your problem, if rich people get a problem, of course they will find it easier to deal with it on their own because they can easily find solutions and of course there are many people closest to them who will help them, very different from poor people when they face a problem they will try to solve it themselves and very few people who will help.

The more you choose to help the rich especially with a good heart for others, we can see that it can be more helpful people than poor people. It is also the beauty of the rich who are always positive even when they are losing because they always look at the future.
And when we put the poor people first, the person who helps themselves will also be difficult and have trouble with these people because we can see the negative mindsets and hear what they have to say.

If I want to talk about problem solving,
Don't overestimate yourself. What you think you can decide for a rich person means that anyone can do it, and therefore it is not a problem for a rich person.
Look at Elon Musk; he always has a "headache" about something, then he needs a flight to the moon, and then he urgently needs to rename Twitter, something that is already working in principle. Are you able to solve his problems? I doubt. He makes them every morning.
But if we talk about the poor, then many of them will not be able to live in wealth, even if they are helped with money. They have their own views on life, and there are a lot of poor people who simply do not want to live better. Just talking about desire is not enough; there are many examples in history of how guys from poor families achieved success on their own.
Therefore, the poor and the rich are the normal balance of the world; they were and will be. As it is impossible to solve all the problems of the rich. Likewise, one cannot help eradicate poverty.
Buddhists would probably call it karma.

Since this is an economic board, so I assume what you mean by problem is economic problems. So then, rich people have money and I think half (or even more) of their economic problem is solved, that's why I would choose to solve poor's people problem because I think it's more urgent.
I choose to solve the problem of the poor people, this decision may vary because some people doesn't want to have a change and they want to stick to what they currently have, somehow some poor people want changes in their life and there's nothing wrong to help them but in some point we cannot deny there's a mindset of the poor becomes selfish and greedy sometimes of course they didn't experience those kind of life before so they want to do with it now and some of them didn't have manage properly their money cause to brings back them to become poor. This is the reason why the rich people continuously become rich because of this kind of mindset.
Become rich person not only can solve with thousand problem you face but also can helped many people need money, difference when becoming poor person we get difficult how to get good healthy service until problem with education for our children. I don't think have respond will choose becoming poor people because we know how difficult our live without have much money. Realistic with life situation right now, we need money on every side when getting problem with government money can solve easily with our problem.
One tradition in my country when becoming rich person, you have more connected every where, easily to get friend and family are closing with you although you don't know them.

When I was still a young kid studying, I used to think about becoming a useful human being by contributing something. There were times when I think about how to solve problems and issues be it world, national, or local level. I think about how important and how to become important in this world. And then I graduated college, got my first job, and grow mature. What did I learn? I learned about thinking about myself, building my own career, and being successful with it. As the years go by, we have our own struggles in life.
So it's like we need to become very successful first before giving a fck about the problem of the rich and even the poor. Only when you become successful that you deserved to speak about solutions for the rich or the poor. Otherwise, it's just talking without walking.
That's realistic, but I found some people who think that way, accompanied by themselves too, because when we think about a problem, it doesn't always have to be financial, sometimes our thoughts can help many people.So it's like we need to become very successful first before giving a fck about the problem of the rich and even the poor.

The problem of poverty is probably more people think about, actually it depends on the environment but personally I started to get interested in it because I saw it firsthand, and I've joined a community that cares about poverty, they do a lot of things that help but I see a lot of people doing it these good things are not from among the rich but they are people who devote their energy and thoughts to help these problems.
From a moral point of view, of course, solving the problems of the poor is best, but from a rational and practical point of view, solving the problems of the rich is best.
So surely the answers will differ according to the nature of each person, some people are overcome with emotion and pity the poor even if they know that they will not get much money for their service or perhaps they will never get it.
Others overcome their mental thinking over emotional thinking, so they will definitely choose to solve the problems of the rich because it is the best way to get money, and it may have more benefit to society from their point of view because the rich provide jobs for the poor.

As long as you can solve a problem, then it is good because it doesn't mean that if you focus on poor people, you won't gain a profit. It is almost the same with rich people because there are many people that still need to buy it because it can help them, which is also the same with rich people, except that those rich ones are expensive and you can easily accumulate a profit. But again, most businesses right now have a purpose other than earning profit, which is why they are targeting both.
Is it not clear? Only a weak-minded individual would focus on solving the problems of the poor and expect to achieve big-league success. I've always stated that if you want to win big, you need to think big. Poor people? Although they do have difficulties, that is not where the actual money lies
The wealthy have issues that warrant attention and for which they are prepared to pay top bucks. Being logical is preferable to being heartless. The small ones will follow if you concentrate on the larger fish. Make sure you have the resources and ability to help the needy if you honestly want to. Start with the wealthy; they will help finance your empire

It depends if I have the capability of solving the problems of poor people, I am willingly going to solve it for them.
The problems of poor people are much worst than the problem of the rich people, because they've suffered a lot of challenges in life. They always thinking how they should eat 3 times a day when day can only afford eating once a day, or in a bad day, they don't even eat a decent meal, how are they going to get a job if they don't have the qualifications to be hired, how are they going to survive if they don't know anymore what to do to feed themselves or their families, and many more.

The rich have become rich because most of them are problem solvers. While being rich, the next level of having problems is likely about the management of their wealth which is easy IMHO.
While the poor, there are tons of problems that people are dealing with every day. It looks easy but it's not when the ratio of rich and poor isn't par at all.
We admit it or not, there are poorer than rich people, and problems that are being dealt with by most of them can't be tackled easily. Putting this on a serious note, I've been there and still trying to survive. Before helping the poor, I want to help myself first.

That is what social entrepreneurs do, they look for a particular problem and invest a lot of ideas in it, take Elon, for instance, coming up with Tesla an electric car to not only help in reducing cars that use fuel but also to reduce emissions very smart move, just charge and drive, that is the logic I see rich people do they search for a problem and the solving the problem comes with a lot of money, there are still a lot of problems out there that needs a solution, look at the cell phone today it has reduced sending of letters and has made communication easy, we are benefiting from peoples solving a problem, surviving these days is not easy, but we just have to keep supporting one another.
If a person is financially well then that person can solve 90% of the problems with money but it is very difficult to solve the problems of those who don't have money. If I have enough money and if I get a chance I will definitely try to solve the problems of poor people. Poor people who are there live with thousands of problems because to solve the problems they must have a lot of money which they don't have that is why they are poor. If a rich person and a poor person get into a legal entanglement, surely the rich person can easily get out of that entanglement, but it is not possible for a poor person to get out of that problem so easily. A person who has money will appoint a very good lawyer for him but a person who does not have wealth cannot appoint a good lawyer for himself even if he wants to and as a result here also a poor person will fail to solve his problem.
i think if I have ability and opportunity I will solve the problem of the rich people as they have a lot of money it will be a lot easier to make big profit.usually rich people do not care about the price of the service, even many of them thinking about the prestige value that they can get.
Yes actually this is a simple problem. Solving the problems of the rich then they will benefit the poor. My question is what kind of problem is the Op referring to in this thread? Is it a problem like helping a rich man's business to grow and then it will bring benefits such as opening new jobs and the poor around him will benefit? If so, I totally agree with this.
But the problem here is that sometimes there are some rich people who are too greedy, or rich people who are capitalists so no matter how we help them, what they do is put dollars in their pockets and give little benefit to the poor.
Maybe we can think about helping rich people with the record that they are rich people who have good morals and attitudes so they are kind enough to help the poor.
From a moral point of view, of course, solving the problems of the poor is best, but from a rational and practical point of view, solving the problems of the rich is best.

Nowadays the problems of the rich is bigger than the problems of the poor keep their money aside, every rich person has bigger problems from the first day they made their first millions, if you have money the whole family and relatives will always come to you to seek your help, the poor believes that the rich people always have money even when they don't have and if you don't help them financially they will not be in good terms with you and even in business the rich will always put effort to make more money even if the risk is high they will always want to profits from it so they will not get broke (poor) for people to laugh at them.
For the poor after trying all their efforts to be rich and they don't, they will just give up and look for what Minor things that can bring food to their tables things like farming or other local business trading in the market.

In my opinion, helping the poor with their problems is better because when they have no one to turn to for financial assistance, the wealthy are the ones who step in. I don't believe that the wealthy have any problems that they are unable to resolve; the only issue that they are unable to do so with regards to is saving lives because, in my opinion, money cannot save lives and God wishes that person would perish. Nevertheless, assisting the wealthy can also help you become successful. For instance, if you were jobless and assisted a wealthy individual who was responsible and got you a job or other favourable circumstances, your life would be changed.
But if it comes to providing financial assistance or helping someone in need, I would prioritise the poor because they currently experience a lot of hardship while the rich people don't give a damn. In fact, I believe that the rich are very wicked in this day and age because they refuse to help you if you need it and most of them don't care about the poor. I shall, therefore, aid the poor person rather than the rich person.

The real problem to solve is the problem that created the poor and the rich in first place. So the fundamental economical, social and other issues that led to the class gap in first place needs to be solved so that we no longer have anything called "the poor" that need their problems solved.
Otherwise we end up with examples like United States where the gap is so massive that there are only a tiny 1% that are categorized as ultra rich and the rest of the 99% of the population are categorized as poor and lower class with nary a middle class in sight.
