Someone has to do the "Dirty Work"

While i was at my freshmen year at college, i read a very interesting paper from my Sociology class. "Poverty has its advantages". I was like whaaat??! How can one of the dreaded issues in that some societies face even have a silver lining to it? Then it hit me. "Poverty takes care of takes care of the "dirty work of the society".

This is a sad yet surprisingly lucky reality that we have right now. Indeed, most people consider poverty as a problem of the society that needs to be solved. Most people fail to realize that they won't have rice to eat if not for those farmers sacrificing themselves to produce them. Streets would be engulfed with filthy garbage coming from households if those noble garbage collectors were not here. Self-centered shitheads (terrorists) would just go on terrorizing cities if not for armed forces repelling their dominion. On a more stupid yet literal manner, there would be no need for social workers if there would be no more people in need of "the help" they get from them. 

Do you get my point? i know this may sound really idiotic or confusing. but try to think about it really carefully.

To make it clearer, perhaps, i should start by clarifying what i really mean by "dirty work". To be honest, i don't have a concrete and definite meaning for this.
