If everyone gets richer, but the inequalities are huge, inflation will keep making the bottom group miserable. A performant social safety net to force the redistribution is a possible solution to that.

If the poor are getting poorer in real terms then I’m all for some form of redistribution. If the system isn’t making everyone better off, then it needs to be restructured. My argument is regarding inequality specifically, not poverty, which is a moral, social, and economic hazard.
